MINIMIZATION OF CHEMICAL VAPOR INFILTRATION TOOLING HOLE LENGTH THROUGH COUNTERBORES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17957613 titled 'MINIMIZATION OF CHEMICAL VAPOR INFILTRATION TOOLING HOLE LENGTH THROUGH COUNTERBORES
Simplified Explanation
The tooling assembly described in the patent application is a perforated fixture designed for infiltrating a fibrous preform. The fixture has a thickness and is equipped with a plurality of holes that extend through this thickness. Additionally, there is a first counterbore aligned with at least one hole, which has a first length that partially extends through the thickness.
- The tooling assembly is suitable for infiltrating fibrous preforms.
- The fixture has a thickness and is perforated with a plurality of holes.
- A first counterbore is aligned with at least one hole, partially extending through the thickness.
Potential Applications
