    Abstract: Ceramic matrix composite articles include, for example, a plurality of unidirectional arrays of fiber tows in a matrix having a monomodal pore size distribution, and a fiber volume fraction between about 15 percent and about 35 percent. The articles may be formed by, for example, providing a shaped preform comprising a prepreg tape layup of unidirectional arrays of fiber tows, a matrix precursor, and a pore former, curing the shaped preform to pyrolyze the matrix precursor and burnout the pore former so that the shaped preform comprises the unidirectional arrays of fiber tows and a porous matrix having a monomodal pore size distribution, and subjecting the cured shaped preform to chemical vapor infiltration to densify the porous matrix so that the ceramic matrix composite article has a fiber volume fraction between about 15 percent and about 35 percent.

    Abstract: Coated components, along with methods of their formation, are provided. The coated component may include a ceramic substrate having a Si-treated layer surrounding a ceramic core and an environmental barrier coating on the Si-treated layer of the ceramic substrate. The ceramic core may include silicon carbide, and the Si-treated layer may be pretreated to tailor its surface's properties for inhibiting or delaying the formation of carbon oxides to upon exposure of the Si-treated layer to oxygen.
