Chill rolls are available in different sizes, configurations, surface treatments, feeding mechanisms, etcetera, but most are a hollow metal cylinder with a surface machined and ground smooth to true cylindrical form. Rolls, internally refrigerated with either flooded or spray systems, turn slowly on longitudinal and horizontal axes. Several options exist for feeding the melted oil product to the chill roll (i) a trough ar-...

The coated preform is densified with a silicon carbide matrix via CVl. The gaseous precursor is methyl chi orosilane (MTS). When the CVl process is carried out isothermally (I-CVl), surface pores tend to close, restricting the gas flow to the interior of the preform. This phenomenon requires an intermediate operation of surface machining to obtain an adequate density. The CVl parameters (i.e. total pressure, temperature and gas flow rate) have to be selected according to the preform geometry defined by the pore spectmm and the thickness, the number of preforms present in the chamber and the size of the chamber. Finally several coating systems can be applied to these composites via CVD to provide environmental and oxidation protection. 

The gas species are conveyed through the porous preform mainly by diffusion. The driving force is the concentration gradient between the interior and the surface ofthe preform, which reduces the densification rate. When CVl conditions that shorten the densification time are selected non uniform deposition of the matrix is enhanced. Intermediate cycles of surface machining are thus required to open the pores that have been sealed. A few alternative CVl techniques have been proposed to increase the infiltration rate [11]. These techniques require more complicated CVl chambers, and are not appropriate to the production of large or complex shapes, or large quantities of pieces.
