Shaped, fabricated, intractable article with a homogeneous microstructure which does not exhibit any structural components distinguishable by optical microscopy.
Note:
The article is usually fabricated by cold pressing or hot pressing of a @M03667@ material, or by using a reactive processing technique such as @RT07628@, @CT07136@, @S05727@-@G02600@ processing, @S05704@, etc.
