US Patent:

20200114539, Apr 16, 2020

Filed:

Oct 10, 2018

Appl. No.:

16/156630

Inventors:

- Indianapolis IN, US
- Cypress CA, US
Michael G. Abbott - Anaheim CA, US

International Classification:

B28B 1/00
B33Y 10/00
B33Y 30/00
B33Y 50/02
B28B 17/00

Abstract:

An example technique includes extruding, by a tow deposition device, on a tow-by-tow basis, respective impregnated tows of a plurality of respective impregnated tows to form a layer of material on a major surface of a substrate. Each respective impregnated tow includes at least one ceramic fiber and a curable resin coating the at least one ceramic fiber. The example technique includes curing the curable resin to form a cured composite component. An example system includes a tow deposition device, an energy source, and a computing device. The computing device is configured to control the tow deposition device to extrude, on a tow-by-tow basis, respective impregnated tows of a plurality of respective impregnated tows to form a layer of material, and is configured to control the energy source to cure the curable resin to form a cured composite component.

C04B 35/628

Abstract:

A method including infiltrating a porous fiber preform with a slurry including a carrier fluid and a first plurality of solid particles wherein the first plurality of solid particles includes at least a first ceramic material, drying the slurry to form a greenbody preform, machining the greenbody preform to a target dimension, depositing a protective layer precursor including a second plurality of solid particles on the machined greenbody preform wherein the second plurality of solid particles includes at least a second ceramic material, and infiltrating the machined greenbody preform with a molten infiltrant to form a composite article including an integral protective layer.
