==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 ==

== Problems Solved ==
This tooling assembly helps in efficiently infiltrating fibrous preforms with resin, ensuring uniform distribution and strength in the final composite material.

== Benefits ==
- Improved quality and strength of composite materials
- Enhanced efficiency in the manufacturing process
- Cost-effective production of composite components

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Tooling Assembly for Infiltrating Fibrous Preforms: Commercial Applications"

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be prior art related to tooling assemblies for infiltrating fibrous preforms, but specific examples are not provided in this context.

== Unanswered Questions ==

=== How does the tooling assembly handle different types of fibrous preforms? ===
The patent application does not specify if the tooling assembly is adaptable to various types of fibrous preforms or if modifications are needed for different materials.

=== What are the limitations of the tooling assembly in terms of preform size and shape? ===
The patent application does not address the maximum or minimum sizes of fibrous preforms that can be effectively infiltrated using this tooling assembly.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A tooling assembly suitable for use in infiltrating a fibrous preform comprises a perforated fixture having a thickness. The fixture comprises a plurality of holes extending through the thickness, and a first counterbore aligned with at least one hole of the plurality of holes, the first counterbore having a first length extending partially through the thickness.
