ABSTRACT:
Method of carbonizing pitch-infiltrated fibrous annular preform by: infiltrating the preform with pitch; placing the pitch-infiltrated preform in a constraint fixture having an ejector base plate, an inner wall, an outer wall, and a top press plate; selecting the relative sizes of the preform and the constraint fixture so that a layer of inert friable material may be situated between the preform and walls of the constraint fixture; placing inert friable material (e.g., activated carbon) between the preform and the top, bottom, and walls of the constraint fixture; and subjecting the pitch-infiltrated fibrous preform to carbonization in the constraint fixture. The activated carbon or other inert friable material adsorbs pitch molecules that escape the preform during carbonization, which reduces problems with foaming. The layer of activated carbon or other friable material between the fibrous preform and the constraint fixture also provides an easily crushable region that facilitates removal of the preform from the constraint fixture after carbonization.
