The CVI process is very flexible and can produce the widest range of chemistries, shapes and dimensions. Properties of CVI SiC/SiC composites have been related to microscopic and macroscopic behaviors. These composites form an interesting class of materials with typical properties that can be improved via microstracture modification or interphase and matrix engineering. In CVI SiC/SiC the matrix is stiffer than the fibers. This characteristic has important consequences on the mechanical behavior and mechanical properties.
