Title: Fabrication of ceramic composites: Forced CVI

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10189093

Forced chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) is being developed as an efficient means for producing thick-wall ceramic matrix components. Recent efforts focussed on process scale-up, modeling and the properties of the resultant material. Disks 24.6 cm in diameter and 1.27 cm thick have been produced. Composites of Nicalon{trademark} fibers and SiC matrix have exhibited 480 MPa strength in flexure.
