TL;DR: Noninvasive, high-resolution methods of x-ray tomography have been used to measure the growth of silicon carbide in a woven Nicalon-fiber composite during chemical vapor infiltration, indicating that this surface area is independent of the fiber architecture and location within the preform and is dominated by large-scale macroporosity during the final stages of composite consolidation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pore geometry in woven fiber structures: 0°/90° plain-weave cloth layup preform
TL;DR: In this article, the structure of a 0°/90° cloth layup preform using x-ray tomographic microscopy (XTM) was characterized. But the authors focused on the geometry of the interfiber porosity.

X-Ray Tomographic Microscopy of Nicalon Preforms and Chemical Vapor Infiltrated Nicalon/Silicon Carbide Composites
M. D. Butts,Stuart R. Stock,John H. Kinney,Thomas L. Starr,M. C. Nichols,C. A. Lundgren,T. M. Breunig,A. Guvenilir +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a very high resolution computed tomography (XTM) is used to image the microstructure of macroscopic volumes of a composite to be imaged with resolution approaching one micrometer.
