CONTINUOUS CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION/INFILTRATION COATER

摘要

A method to form a ceramic interface coating on ceramic matrix composite (CMC) precursor tape 14 by a continuous process includes passing a ceramic fiber woven cloth tape or unidirectional tape of a first ceramic with a first and second surface through at least one reaction zone of a continuous vacuum chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) reactor heated to a reaction temperature. The method further includes directing a flow of CVD or CVI reactant gas of a second ceramic at the first surface of the tape in a direction perpendicular to the tape such that the reactant gas passes through the tape in a forced flow process depositing the second ceramic on the fibers of the first ceramic thereby coating the fibers of the first ceramic tape with the second ceramic to interface coating form a coated fiber CMC precursor tape product.
