Method and ceramic component

摘要

A method of fabricating a ceramic component (40) includes initially partially filling pores of a porous structure (42) using one of a first processing technique or a second, different processing technique to form a preform body with residual porosity. The first processing technique produces a first ceramic material (50) in the pores (46) of the porous structure (42) and a second processing technique produces a second ceramic material (54) in the pores of the porous structure (42). When the first processing technique is used to initially partially fill the pores (46) of the porous structure (42), the second processing technique is used thereafter to at least partially fill the residual porosity with the second ceramic material (54). When the second processing technique is used to initially partially fill the pores (46), the first processing technique is used thereafter to at least partially fill the residual porosity.
