  • Patent number: 11981607
    Abstract: A chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) method for densifying at least one porous component includes placing the at least one porous component inside a crucible, bringing temperature inside the crucible to a value adapted to densify the porous component to transform it into a densified component, bringing pressure inside the crucible between 0.1 KPa and 25 KPa, once operational temperature and pressure are reached, flowing gas inside the crucible, gas being suitable for densifying the porous component to transform it into a densified component, and keeping an oxidizing environment outside the crucible, the external environment lapping against the crucible. The crucible is provided of at least one material having thermal conductivity greater than 30 W/mK from room temperature to at least 1000° C.
