Abstract
Near net shape free standing articles can be produced by chemical vapor deposition techniques when a suitable substrate is suspended in a chemical vapor deposition zone according to the disclosed technique. By suspending such substrates from linear suspension supports such as ropes, cables and wires, multiple near net shape articles can be produced with substantial manufacturing cost savings over previously employed techniques.
