CVD / CVI coating systems

Description

Thermally induced chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) is a CVD-related technology used to infiltrate matrix materials into porous or fibrous preforms in order to produce composite components with enhanced mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, thermal shock resistance, and low residual stress.

Complex shapes in a wide range of sizes and compositions can be produced. By switching between multiple gas inlets, the porous or fibrous preforms can be coated with multilayer interfacial layers before initiating the actual deposition of the matrix material.
