Particularly, a permeable mass of filler material is formed into a preform by first forming a negative cavity in a matrix metal and thereafter placing said permeable mass of filler material into said cavity. An infiltration enhancer and/or an infiltration enhancer precursor and/or an infiltrating atmosphere are also in communication with the filler material at, least at some point along the process which permit the matrix metal, when made molten, to spontaneously infiltrate the permeable mass of Filler material …

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 13, 1989. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended October 13, 2009.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 13, 2011.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
