    Abstract: A method of forming a barrier layer on a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) is described. The method includes forming a particulate surface layer comprising silicon particles on an outer surface of a fiber preform. The particulate surface layer is nitrided to convert the silicon particles to silicon nitride particles. After the nitriding, the fiber preform and the particulate surface layer are infiltrated with a molten material comprising silicon. Following infiltration, the molten material is cooled, thereby forming a ceramic matrix composite with a barrier layer thereon, where the barrier layer comprises silicon nitride and less than 5 vol. % free silicon. The barrier layer may also include silicon carbide and/or one or more refractory metal silicides.

    Abstract: A method of melt infiltration for producing a ceramic matrix composite comprises applying a surface slurry onto one or more outer surfaces of an impregnated porous preform. The surface slurry comprises a solvent and particulate solids, and the preform comprises a framework of ceramic fibers loaded with particulate matter. The surface slurry is dried to form a porous layer comprising the particulate solids on the one or more outer surfaces of the impregnated porous preform. After forming the porous layer, an end portion of the impregnated porous preform that includes at least part of the porous layer is immersed in a molten material, and the molten material is infiltrated into the impregnated porous preform from the end portion. The porous layer serves as a wick to transport the molten material over the one or more outer surfaces, thereby enabling melt infiltration of the impregnated porous preform from other portions thereof.
