    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a ceramic matrix composite component may include introducing a gaseous precursor into an inlet portion of a chamber that houses a porous preform and introducing a gaseous mitigation agent into an outlet portion of the chamber that is downstream of the inlet portion of the chamber. The gaseous precursor may include methyltrichlorosilane (MTS) and the gaseous mitigation agent may include hydrogen gas. The introduction of the gaseous precursor may result in densification of the porous preform(s) and the introduction of the gaseous mitigation agent may shift the reaction equilibrium to disfavor the formation of harmful and/or pyrophoric byproduct deposits, which can accumulate in an exhaust conduit 340 of the system.

    Abstract: A system and method for enhancing a diffusion limited CVI/CVD process is provided. The system may densify a porous structure by flowing a reactant gas around the porous structure. A mass flow controller may be configured to pulse the flow rate of the reactant gas around the porous structure. The mass flow controller may pulse the flow rate from a nominal flow rate to a first flow rate. The mass flow controller may pulse the first flow rate back to the nominal flow rate or to a second flow rate. The mass flow controller may pulse the flow rate between the nominal flow rate, the first flow rate, and the second flow rate, as desired.
