A method for manufacturing a part made of composite material, includes the arrangement of a fibrous preform in the impregnation chamber of a mold, the impregnation chamber being closed by a flexible membrane separating the impregnation chamber from a compaction chamber, an impregnation fluid being injected into the impregnation chamber and a compression fluid being injected into the compaction chamber, the compression fluid being a liquid in which the value of the density is between 60% and 125% of the density of the impregnation fluid.

Method for manufacturing a part made of composite material with liquid compacting

A method for densifying a fibrous texture made of ceramic material with a ceramic matrix used in injection equipment including a mold cavity defined between a mold and a counter-mold, the mold cavity defining an internal space, and a membrane comprising a stiffened zone, the membrane being intended to be placed between a fibrous texture present in the mold cavity and the counter-mold, and the stiffened zone of the membrane having a Young's modulus greater than 200 GPa, the method including placing a predensified fibrous texture in the mold cavity, the predensified fibrous texture having corrugations on the surface and placing the membrane on the predensified fibrous texture in such a way that the stiffened zone of the membrane is in contact with the peaks of the corrugations of the predensified fibrous texture; closing the injection equipment, and densifying.

A process for manufacturing a composite material part includes formation of a fibrous texture from refractory ceramic fibres, placement of the fibrous texture in a mould with interposition of a filtration layer between the fibrous texture and a discharge port, the filtration layer including a partially densified fibrous structure, pressure injection of a slurry containing a powder of refractory ceramic particles into the fibrous texture, drainage by the filtration layer of the slurry solvent having passed through the fibrous texture and retention of the powder of refractory ceramic particles within the texture by the filtration layer to obtain a fibrous preform including the fibrous texture filled with refractory ceramic particles and the filtration layer, heat treatment of the refractory ceramic particles present in the fibrous texture of the preform to form a composite material part including the fibrous texture densified by a refractory ceramic matrix and the filtration layer.

Method for the production of a part made from a composite material, by means of the injection of powder into a fibrous reinforcement with drainage through a composite filtration layer

A process for manufacturing a composite part includes arranging a fibrous preform in a mold including an impregnation chamber which includes in its lower part a filter by making a first face of the preform rest on the filter, the impregnation chamber being closed by a flexible membrane placed opposite a second face of the preform, the membrane separating the impregnation chamber from a compaction chamber. The process further includes injecting a compression fluid into the compaction chamber so as to apply a first pressure on the membrane and injecting a slurry including ceramic particles into the impregnation chamber with a second pressure while maintaining the injection of the compression fluid, the second injection pressure of the slurry being lower than the first pressure on the membrane.

A composite material part includes fiber reinforcement made of carbon or ceramic yarns and a matrix that is mostly ceramic, the part further including a first interphase layer covering the yarns and present between the yarns and the matrix, the first interphase layer being a layer of boron nitride doped with aluminum and presenting an atom content of aluminum lying in the range 5% to 15%.
