Abstract: A method of infiltrating a fiber preform comprises positioning an assembly in a process chamber, where the assembly includes a tool comprising through-holes, a fiber preform constrained within the tool, and a sacrificial preform disposed between the fiber preform and the tool. The sacrificial preform is gas permeable. The process chamber is heated, and gaseous reactants are delivered into the process chamber during the heating. The gaseous reactants penetrate the through-holes of the tool and infiltrate the sacrificial preform and the fiber preform. Deposition of reaction products occurs on exposed surfaces of the fiber preform and the sacrificial preform, and a coating is formed thereon. In addition, the sacrificial preform accumulates excess coating material formed from increased reactions at short diffusion depths. Accordingly, the coating formed on the fiber preform exhibits a thickness variation of about 10% or less throughout a volume of the fiber preform.

Abstract: A method of controllably coating a fiber preform has been developed. The method includes infiltrating a fiber preform with a first solvent to form a solvent-filled preform. After the infiltration, a slurry is applied to one or more outer surfaces of the solvent-filled preform to form a slurry coating thereon. The slurry coating comprises particulate solids dispersed in a second solvent having a vapor pressure higher than that of the first solvent. The slurry coating and the solvent-filled preform are dried. During drying, the second solvent evaporates from the slurry coating before the first solvent evaporates from the solvent-filled preform. The slurry coating dries to form a porous surface coating comprising the particulate solids on the one or more outer surfaces of the solvent-filled preform. The drying of the solvent-filled preform continues after formation of the porous surface coating to remove the first solvent.

Abstract: A method of slurry infiltration and cleaning to fabricate a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) component with an internal cavity or bore comprises inserting a number of rods into a hollow portion of a porous fiber preform, thereby forming a rod arrangement substantially filling the hollow portion. Each of the rods has a low-friction surface comprising a coefficient of static friction of about 0.1 or less. The porous fiber preform is exposed to a slurry comprising particulate solids in a liquid carrier, and the slurry infiltrates the porous fiber preform. Some fraction of the particulate solids is deposited within interstices of the porous fiber preform to form an impregnated fiber preform, and another fraction of the particulate solids is deposited within the hollow portion as excess slurry. After slurry infiltration, the rods are withdrawn from the hollow portion, and at least some of the excess slurry is removed with the rods.

Abstract: The disclosure describes techniques for forming a surface layer of an article including a CMC using a cast. In some examples, the surface layer includes three-dimensional surface features, which may increase adhesion between the CMC and a coating on the CMC. In some examples, the surface layer may include excess material, with or without three-dimensional surface features, which is on the CMC. The excess material may be machined to remove some of the excess material and facilitate conforming the article to dimensional tolerances, e.g., for fitting the article to another component. The excess material may reduce a likelihood that the CMC (e.g., reinforcement material in the CMC) is damaged by the machining.
