A method for drying a blank of a part made of a carbon/carbon composite material impregnated with a sol-gel solution, the solution including a solvent and one or more compounds, in a system forming an oven includes gelling the solution so as to form a gel within the blank disposed in the chamber by heating a chamber, where a gas circulator and a desaturation component are deactivated, so as to restrict circulation and desaturation of the gas in a solvent, and drying the gel within the blank by heating, where the gas circulator and the desaturation component are activated, so as to enable circulation and desaturation of the gas in a solvent.

Method for drying an impregnated blank and associated manufacturing method, system and assembly

A method of fabricating a friction part out of composite material, the method including densifying a carbon yarn fiber preform with a matrix including at least pyrolytic carbon and a ZrOCphase, where 1&#x2264;x&#x2264;2 and 0&#x2264;y&#x2264;1, the matrix being formed by film-boiling or by chemical vapor infiltration from a first precursor for pyrolytic carbon and a second precursor that includes zirconium, the second precursor being a zirconium complex including an alcoxy or carboxylate ligand bonded to zirconium.
