Nextel{trademark} 312/Blackglas{trademark} composite densification via repeated cycles of infiltration with the Blackglas precursor materials and pyrolysis were studied. Nicalon{trademark} / Blackglas composite specimens with graphite foil as simulated delaminations in various layer locations were evaluated. Results show unique capabilities of nondestructive X-ray microtomographic and ultrasonic evaluation in characterizing processing- and failure-related microstructures.
