A new, faster process was developed for the fabrication of ceramic fiber-reinforced, ceramic-matrix composites by chemical vapor infiltration. Process and equipment improvements led to the fabrication of preforms with a higher fiber content, and infiltration improvements led to reduced infiltration run times and increased infiltrated densities. These improvements have produced composites with not only higher flexural strengths but also high strain values.
