    Abstract: An apparatus for making a composite article includes a monofilament feed track adapted to carry a spaced array of ceramic monofilament strands, a fiber yarn feed track adapted to carry a spaced array of fiber yarn tows impregnated with a plurality of glass particulates, a mandrel, and a heater assembly. The mandrel is adapted to wind together individual glass-impregnated fiber yarn strands and individual ceramic monofilament strands to form a dual-fiber weave. The heater assembly is adapted to heat at least the glass particulates such that pressure from the wound array of ceramic monofilaments is sufficient to consolidate the glass particulates and the dual-fiber weave into a dual-fiber ceramic matrix composite (CMC).

    Abstract: A disclosed method includes serially moving a plurality of dies through a series of interconnected chambers that are selectively sealable from each other. Through the series of interconnected chambers, each of the dies is introduced into a controlled gas environment, each of the dies is introduced into a controlled temperature environment, a process-environment-sensitive material is pressurized in each of the dies, and each of the dies is cooled. A disclosed apparatus includes a series of interconnected chambers that are selectively sealable from each other. A first one of the chambers is configured to establish a controlled gas environment therein, a second one of the chambers is configured to establish a controlled temperature environment therein, a third one of the chambers is configured to pressurize a process-environment-sensitive material and a fourth one of the chambers is configured to cool the process-environment-sensitive material.

    Abstract: A method of making a ceramic matrix composite is disclosed. According to the method, a first preform comprising fibers is formed, and a second preform including a helical surface portion is inserted into the first preform. The first preform with the inserted second preform is infiltrated with a matrix material comprising a ceramic to form the ceramic matrix composite. A ceramic matrix composite is also disclosed. The ceramic matrix composite includes a first portion including a matrix comprising a ceramic, and a reinforcement including fibers derived from the first preform in the matrix. A second portion including a helical surface portion interface with the first portion is disposed within the first portion.
