One aspect of the present disclosure provides a production method for a composite, the method including: a cooling step of performing cooling under a pressurized condition in a state where a heated molten material of a thermosetting composition is brought into contact with a resin-impregnated body, in which the above-described resin-impregnated body includes a nitride sintered body having a porous structure and a semi-cured product of the thermosetting composition impregnated into the above-described nitride sintered body.

A combustion engine is provided that includes an engine block with a fiber material in a resin. The engine block defines a piston bore and a bore liner positioned within the piston bore and includes a substrate and a coating positioned on an interior surface of the substrate. An exterior surface of the substrate defines a retention feature.

A ceramic matrix composite article and a process of fabricating a ceramic matrix composite are disclosed. The ceramic matrix composite article includes a matrix distribution pattern formed by a manifold and ceramic matrix composite plies laid up on the matrix distribution pattern, includes the manifold, or a combination thereof. The manifold includes one or more matrix distribution channels operably connected to a delivery interface, the delivery interface configured for providing matrix material to one or more of the ceramic matrix composite plies. The process includes providing the manifold, forming the matrix distribution pattern by transporting the matrix material through the manifold, and contacting the ceramic matrix composite plies with the matrix material.
