The fabrication routes for a woven SiC fibre reinforced SiO{sub 2} matrix composite and a woven alumina fibre reinforced alumina matrix composite have been investigated. The woven fibre preforms were infiltrated with the appropriate precursor sol systems using a novel electrophoretic deposition technique. The formation of green body compacts from these infiltrated woven fibre mats and the subsequent high temperature consolidation treatments will be described for the two systems. Microstructural examination, density measurements and mechanical testing will highlight the importance of the green body infiltration stages in the processing of woven fibre reinforced ceramic matrix composites.
