    摘要: A pressure gradient CVI/CVD process includes providing a furnace defining an outer volume. Porous structures and ring-like spacers are assembled in a stack with a ring-like spacer between each adjacent pair of porous structures. The stack of porous structures is disposed between a bottom plate and a top plate in the furnace, wherein the bottom plate, the stack of porous structures, and the ring-like spacers define an enclosed cavity. A channel provides fluid communication between the enclosed cavity and the outer volume. A gas composition is introduced into the enclosed cavity. A portion of the gas composition flows through the channel. A pressure gradient is maintained between the enclosed cavity and the outer volume. The gas composition in the outer volume is provided at a pressure of at least about 15 torr. The porous structures are densified.

    摘要: A process for densifying porous structures inside a furnace using non-pressure gradient CVI/CVD includes disposing a number of porous structures in a stack within a furnace. The stack has a center opening region extending through the porous structures and an outer region extending along the outside of the porous structures. Channels provide fluid communication between the center opening region and the outer region. A first portion of a gas composition is introduced to the center opening region. A second portion of the gas composition is introduced to the outer region. The porous structures are densified from an average density of less than 0.60 g/cm3 to an average density of greater than 1.70 g/cm3 in a single cycle of non-pressure gradient CVI/CVD.

    摘要: A method of chemical vapor infiltration and deposition includes stacking a number of porous structures in a stack in a furnace. The stack has a center opening region extending through the porous structures and an outer region extending along the porous structures. A first portion of a reactant gas is introduced to the center opening region. A second portion of the reactant gas is introduced to the outer region. The first portion and the second portion are controlled proportions thereby introducing predetermined portions of the reactant gas to both the center opening region and the outer region. The change in weight of the entire furnace, including contents, is measured during the chemical vapor infiltration and deposition process. The rate of weight change is monitored.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for densifying porous structures inside a furnace using pressure gradient CVI/CVD. The apparatus includes a stack of porous structures where each porous structure has an aperture therethrough. The apparatus also includes at least one ring-like spacer disposed within the stack of porous structures between neighboring porous structures. The ring-like spacer encircles the apertures of the neighboring porous structures. The stack of porous structures and the at least one ring-like spacer define an enclosed cavity including each porous structure aperture. A channel provides fluid communication between the enclosed cavity and an outer volume defined by the interior surface of the furnace.
