Abstract
A fixture for processing a ceramic matrix composite article includes first and second tool segments that each have an exterior side and an interior side. The interior side has a border mate face, and the interior side of the first tool segment faces the interior side of the second tool segment such that the border mate faces align and circumscribe a working region for holding a fiber preform that is to be coated with a ceramic material. The tool segments each having an array of through-holes that open to the working region to permit inflow of gaseous precursor into the working region. A seal circumscribes the working region and blocks a gap between the border mate faces to limit inflow of the gaseous precursor through the gap into the working region.
