LAMINATE STRUCTURE FABRICATED USING CHEMICAL VAPOR INFILTRATION (CVI)

摘要

A preform can be subject to chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) to define a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) structure, a supplemental preform can be added to the CMC structure to define an expanded structure and CVI can be performed using the expanded structure. The adding of a supplemental preform and performing CVI using the expanded structure can be repeated.
