    [0001] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a part made of thermostructural composite material, in particular of the oxide / oxide or ceramic matrix (CMC) type, that is to say having a fibrous reinforcement formed with from fibers of refractory material densified by a matrix also of refractory material.
    [0002] The oxide / oxide composite material parts are generally produced by draping in a mold of a plurality of fibrous layers made from refractory oxide fibers, the layers being each impregnated beforehand with a slip loaded with refractory oxide particles. All of the layers thus disposed is then compacted using a counter-mold or a vacuum cover and an autoclave. The filled preform thus obtained is then subjected to sintering in order to form a refractory oxide matrix in the preform and obtain a piece of oxide / oxide composite material. This technique can also be used to produce ceramic matrix composite (CMC) parts. In this case, the fibrous layers are made from silicon carbide (SiC) or carbon fibers and are impregnated with a slurry loaded with carbide particles (eg SiC), boride (eg TiB2) or nitride particles. (eg Si3N4).
    [0003] However, this type of production method does not make it possible to manufacture composite material parts having a high matrix level and / or whose characteristics, for example the mechanical properties, vary in the thickness of the material.
    [0004] OBJECT AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks and to propose a solution that makes it possible to control the manufacture of composite material parts, in particular of the oxide / oxide or CMC type, in order to optimize the matrix volume ratio present in the material and / or to give it characteristics that vary in the direction of the thickness of the piece. For this purpose, the invention proposes a method of manufacturing a composite material part comprising the following steps: - formation of a fibrous texture from refractory fibers, - first impregnation of the fibrous texture with a first slip containing first refractory particles, - elimination of the liquid phase of the first slip having impregnated the fibrous texture so as to leave in the interior of said texture only the first refractory particles, - second impregnation of the fibrous texture with a second slip containing second refractory particles, - removal of the liquid phase from the second slip having impregnated the fibrous texture so as to leave in the interior of said texture only the second refractory particles and obtain a fibrous preform loaded with the first and second refractory particles, and - sintering the first and second refractory particles present in the fibrous preform to form a refractory matrix in said preform. By thus achieving at least two successive impregnations with slips containing particles of different size and / or chemical nature, it is possible to control the volume ratio of matrix 25 in the final part and / or the characteristics of the matrix in the direction the thickness of the room. According to a first aspect of the method of the invention, the first particles have an average size greater than the average size of the second particles. It is thus possible to fill the interstices present between the first particles and the second particles so as to obtain a high volume ratio of the matrix in the final part. The first particles may be of the same chemical nature as the second particles or of a chemical nature different from that of the second particles. By using first and second particles having a different chemical nature, it is possible to confer particular properties on the matrix obtained. According to a second aspect of the process of the invention, it further comprises, after the step of removing the liquid phase from the second slip and before the sintering step, the following steps: - third impregnation of the fibrous texture with a third slip containing third refractory particles, - elimination of the liquid phase of the third slip having impregnated the fibrous texture so as to leave in the interior of said texture only the third refractory particles and obtain a fibrous preform charged with the first, second and third refractory particles. It is thus possible to deposit particles on the surface of the texture that are different from those present in the heart of the texture.
    [0005] In this case, the third particles may have an average size similar to the average size of the first particles, the first and third particles having a mean size less than the average size of the second particles. This makes it possible, after formation of the matrix by sintering the particles, to obtain a part having an improved surface state because the matrix present at the surface of the part has been obtained from particles that are finer than those present in the core. of the preform before sintering. According to a third aspect of the process of the invention, each step of impregnating the fibrous texture comprises: placing the fibrous texture in a mold comprising an impregnation chamber comprising in its lower part a piece of porous material on which rests a first face of said texture, the impregnation chamber being closed in its upper part by a deformable impermeable membrane placed opposite a second face of the fibrous texture, said membrane separating the impregnation chamber from a chamber of compaction, - the injection of a slip containing a powder of refractory particles in the impregnation chamber between the second face of the fibrous texture and the membrane, - the injection of a compression fluid into the cormaction chamber, the fluid exerting a pressure on the membrane to force the slip to pass through the fibrous texture, each removal of the liquid phase of the slug comprising the drainage by the porous material part of the liquid phase of the slip passed through the fibrous texture, the refractory particles being retained within said texture by said piece of porous material. By using a piece of porous material for draining the liquid from the slips, the method of the invention makes it possible to eliminate the liquid phase of the slips introduced into the fibrous texture without removing the refractory solid particles also present in the texture. The elimination of the liquid phase of the slurry by drainage also makes it possible not to disturb the distribution of the refractory particles within the fibrous texture and thus to control the structure of the matrix in the final piece. The piece of porous material may be rigid and have a shape corresponding to the shape of the piece of composite material to be produced. According to one variant, the piece of porous material may be deformable, the bottom of the mold having a shape corresponding to the shape of the piece of composite material to be produced; in this case, the piece of porous material adapts to the shape of the bottom of the mold. The yarns of the preform may be fiber yarns made of one or more of the following materials: alumina, mullite, silica, aluminosilicate, borosilicate, silicon carbide, and carbon. The refractory particles may be of a material chosen from: alumina, mullite, silica, an aluminosilicate, an aluminophosphate, zirconia, a carbide, a boride and a nitride.
    [0006] In an exemplary embodiment, the piece of composite material obtained may constitute a turbomachine blade.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS The method of manufacturing a part made of thermostructural composite material, in particular of oxide / oxide or CMC type, according to the present invention starts with the production of a fibrous texture intended to form the reinforcement of the room. The fibrous texture used may be of various types and forms such as, in particular: fabric obtained by two-dimensional weaving (2D), fabric obtained by three-dimensional weaving (3D), braid, knit, felt, unidirectional web (UD) multi-directional yarn or cable or plies (nD) obtained by superposing several UD plies in different directions and bonding the UD plies together, for example by sewing, by chemical bonding agent or by needling. It is also possible to use a fibrous structure formed of several superimposed layers of fabric, braid, knit, felt, webs, cables or others, which layers are bonded together, for example by sewing, by implantation of threads or rigid elements, or by needling. By "two-dimensional weaving" is meant here a conventional weaving mode whereby each weft yarn passes from one side to the other of yarns of a single chain layer or vice versa. By "three-dimensional weaving" or "3D weaving" or "multilayer weaving" is meant here a weaving mode whereby at least some of the weft yarns bind warp yarns on several layers of warp yarns or conversely following a weave corresponding to a weave weave which may be selected in particular from one of the following weaves: interlock, multi-fabric, multi-satin and multi-twill. The yarns used to weave the fibrous texture intended to form the fibrous reinforcement of the piece made of oxide / oxide or CMC composite material may in particular be formed of fibers consisting of one of the following materials: alumina, mullite, silica, an aluminosilicate, a borosilicate, silicon carbide, carbon or a mixture of several of these materials. Once the fibrous texture is achieved, it is impregnated successively with at least two different slip according to the invention. A first embodiment of the method of the invention is described here consisting in producing a piece of oxide / oxide composite material whose matrix is formed from two types of refractory oxide particles, namely a first type of particles having an average size greater than that of particles of the second type. Thus, and as explained in detail below, by successively depositing into a fibrous texture first particles and second particles having a mean size smaller than that of the first particles, the filling of the texture with the refractory oxide particles is optimized. and significantly reduces the microporosities in the final material. The first and second refractory oxide particles may be of the same chemical nature or of a different chemical nature. By modifying the chemical nature of the second particles, one can play on the sintering conditions of the first particles. For example, the introduction of second zirconia particles makes it possible to lower the sintering temperature of the first alumina particles. The impregnation of the fibrous texture is here carried out with a tool according to the invention which is particularly well adapted to allow the introduction of the solid particle-laden slips in 2D fibrous textures of large thickness (stack of strata or woven folds). 2D) or 3D textures with complex geometries. A fibrous texture 10 is placed in a tool 100. In the example described here, the fibrous texture 10 is produced according to one of the techniques defined above (for example stacking of 2D layers or 3D weaving) with Nextel alumina threads. 61OTM. The fibrous texture 10 is here intended to form the fibrous reinforcement of a blade of oxide / oxide composite material. The tooling 100 comprises a mold 110 whose bottom 111 is provided with a vent 112. The mold 110 also comprises a side wall 113 having an injection port 114 equipped with a valve 1140. A piece of porous material 120 is placed on the inner surface 111a of the bottom 111. The piece of porous material 120 has a lower face 120b in contact with the inner surface 111a of the bottom 111 and an upper face 120a for receiving the fibrous texture 10. In the example described here , the piece 120 is made of a deformable material while the inner surface 111A of the bottom 111 of the mold 110 has a shape or profile corresponding to the shape of the final part to be manufactured, here an aeronautical engine blade. The piece 120 being deformable, it conforms to the profile of the inner surface 111a of the bottom 111 and has on its upper face 120a a shape similar to that of the surface 111a. The piece 120 may for example be made of microporous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as the "microporous PTFE" products sold by the company PorexC). According to an alternative embodiment, the piece of porous material 30 is rigid and has on its upper face a geometry corresponding to the shape of the final piece to be manufactured. In this case, the part may in particular be made by thermoforming. For example, the piece of porous material may have a thickness of several millimeters and an average porosity rate of about 30%. The average pore size (D50) of the piece of porous material may for example be between 1 μm and 2 μm.
    [0007] The tooling 100 further comprises a cover 130 comprising an injection port 131 equipped with a valve 1310 and a deformable membrane 140 which, once the tool has been closed (FIG. 2), separates an impregnation chamber 101 in which the fibrous texture 10 of a compaction chamber 102 is present above the membrane 140. The membrane 140 may be made for example of silicone. After placing the texture 10 on the upper face 120a of the piece of porous material 120a, the mold 110 is closed with the cover 130 (Figure 2).
    [0008] A first slip 150 is then injected into the impregnation chamber 101 via the injection port 114, the valve 1140 of which is open (FIG. 3). The slurry 150 is in this example intended to allow the formation of a portion of the refractory oxide matrix in the texture. The slurry 150 corresponds to a powder of alumina particles 151 suspended in a liquid phase 152, the particles having a mean size or average particle size of between 0.1 μm and 10 μm. The liquid phase 152 of the slip may consist in particular of water (acidic pH), ethanol or any other liquid in which it is possible to suspend the desired powder. An organic binder can also be added (PVA for example, soluble in water). This binder ensures the holding of the raw material after drying and before sintering. In addition to alumina, the refractory oxide particles may also be made of a material chosen from mullite, silica, zirconia, an aluminosilicate and an aluminophosphate. Depending on their base composition, the refractory oxide particles may be further mixed with particles of alumina, zirconia, aluminosilicate, rare earth oxides, rare earth dissilicates (used for example in environmental or thermal barriers) or any other load that makes it possible to add specific functions to the final material (carbon black, graphite, silicon carbide, etc.). The amount of slurry 150 injected into the impregnation chamber 101 is determined as a function of the volume of the fibrous texture to be impregnated. It is the quantity of powder initially introduced which will control the thickness of setting and thus the volume ratio of fibers (Tvf) and matrix (Tvm).
    [0009] Once the slurry 150 has been injected into the impregnation chamber 101, the compaction operation is carried out by injecting a compression fluid 170, for example oil, into the compaction chamber 102 through the injection port 131. whose valve 1310 is open, the valve 1140 of the injection port 114 having been previously closed (Figure 4). The compression fluid 170 applies a pressure on the slip 150 through the membrane 140 which forces the slip 150 to penetrate the fibrous texture 10. The fluid 170 imposes a hydrostatic pressure on the entire membrane 140 and consequently on the whole of the slip present above the texture 10. The pressure applied by the membrane 140 on the slip and on the fibrous texture is preferably less than 15 bar, for example 7 bar, so as to penetrate the slip in the texture and sufficiently compact the texture to allow the liquid phase of the slip to be drained by the piece of porous material without degrading the resulting preform. The piece of porous material 120 which is located on the side of the face 10b of the fibrous texture opposite to the face 10a from which the slip penetrates the texture performs several functions (Figure 3).
    [0010] In fact, the part 120 allows the liquid of the slip to be drained outside the fibrous texture, the liquid thus drained being evacuated here by the vent 112 (FIG. 4). Drainage is performed both during and after the compaction operation. When there is no more liquid flowing through the vent 112, drainage is complete. In combination with the application of a pressure on the slip by the compression fluid, a pumping P, for example by means of a primary vacuum pump (not shown in Figures 1 to 4), can be achieved at of the vent 112. This pumping is optional. Heating can suffice. However, the combination of the two makes it possible to accelerate drying.
    [0011] In addition, the tool may be provided with heating means, such as resistive elements integrated into the walls of the tool, in order to increase the temperature in the compaction chamber and facilitate evacuation of the liquid from the slip by evaporation. The temperature in the compaction chamber can be raised to a temperature between 80 ° C and 105 ° C.
    [0012] The piece of porous material 120 also makes it possible to retain the solid particles of refractory oxide present in the slip, the refractory oxide particles thus settling progressively by sedimentation in the fibrous texture.
    [0013] The piece 120 also makes it possible to maintain the fibrous texture in shape during the compaction operation because it resumes on its upper face 120a the shape of the bottom 111 of the mold 100 corresponding to the shape of the final piece to be manufactured. This gives an intermediate fibrous preform 20 charged with refractory oxide particles, here particles of alumina 151 (Figure 4). The intermediate preform is then released from the compaction pressure by emptying the compression fluid of the compaction chamber 102, the preform however retaining its compaction geometry.
    [0014] After a possible cooling phase, the intermediate fibrous preform 20 is impregnated with a second slip 160 which is injected through the injection port 114, the valve 1140 of which is open (FIG. 5). In this example, the slip 160 is intended to complete the formation of the refractory oxide matrix in the preform. The slip 160 corresponds to a powder of alumina particles 161 suspended in a liquid phase 162. The alumina particles 161 have a mean size or average particle size less than that of the particles 151 which can be between 0.1 μm. and 1 pm (factor 10 between coarse and fine particles).
    [0015] The liquid phase 162 of the slip may consist in particular of water (acidic pH), ethanol or any other liquid in which it is possible to put the desired powder in suspension. An organic binder can also be added (PVA for example, soluble in water). This binder ensures the holding of the raw material after drying and before sintering. The liquid phase 162 is preferably of the same kind as the liquid phase 152. The quantity of slip 160 injected into the impregnation chamber 101 is determined as a function of the volume of the intermediate fibrous preform 20 to be impregnated. Once the slip 160 has been injected into the impregnation chamber 101, the compaction operation is carried out by injecting again the compression fluid 170 into the compaction chamber 102 through the injection port 131 whose valve 1310 is open, the valve 1140 of the injection port 114 having been previously closed (Figure 6). The compression fluid 170 applies a pressure on the slip 160 through the membrane 140 which forces the slip 160 to penetrate into the intermediate fibrous preform 20. The pressure applied by the membrane 140 on the slip and on the preform is preferably lower at 15 bar, for example 7 bar, so as to penetrate the slip in the texture and sufficiently compact the texture to allow the liquid phase of the slip to be drained by the piece of porous material without degrading the preform. When there is no more liquid flowing through the vent 112, drainage is complete. In combination with the application of a pressure on the slip by the compression fluid, a pumping P, for example by means of a primary vacuum pump (not shown in Figures 1 to 4), can be achieved at of the vent 112. This pumping is optional. Heating can suffice. However, the combination of both speeds up drying. In addition, the temperature in the compaction chamber can be raised to facilitate evacuation of the liquid from the slip by evaporation, for example at a temperature between 80 ° C and 105 ° C. The alumina particles 161 are retained in the preform by the piece of porous material 120. The particles 161 having a mean size smaller than that of the particles 151, they are deposited by sedimentation in the interstices remaining between the particles 151 deposited previously. A fibrous preform loaded with the alumina particles 151 and 161 is thus obtained (FIG. 6). The preform is then freed from the compaction pressure by emptying the compression fluid from the compaction chamber 102. The preform is then extracted from the tooling and subjected to an air sintering heat treatment at a temperature of between 1000.degree. C and 1200 ° C to sinter the refractory oxide particles together and thereby form a refractory oxide matrix in the preform. This gives a piece of oxide / oxide composite material provided with a fiber reinforcement obtained by 3D weaving which has a very controlled microporosity volume ratio and, consequently, a low macroporosity volume ratio. In addition to alumina, the refractory oxide particles 151 and 161 may also be made of a material selected from milite, silica, zirconia, an aluminosilicate and an alunninophosphate. Depending on their base composition, the refractory oxide particles may be further mixed with particles of alumina, zirconia, aluminosilicate, rare earth oxides, rare earth dissilicates (used for example in environmental or thermal barriers) or any other load that makes it possible to add specific functions to the final material (carbon black, graphite, silicon carbide, etc.). A piece of CMC composite material can be obtained in the same way by producing the fibrous texture with silicon carbide or carbon fibers and using a slurry loaded with carbide carbide particles (eg SiC), boride (ex. TiB2) or nitride (eg Si3N4). We will now describe a second example of implementation of the method of the invention consisting in producing a piece of CMC composite material whose final surface state is controlled by the method of the invention. More precisely, and as explained in detail below, by depositing in the vicinity of the surface of the fibrous texture refractory particles having a mean size significantly less than that of the refractory particles deposited in the heart of the texture, the microporosities are significantly reduced in the final material while obtaining a final piece that presents a smoother surface condition compatible with aerodynamic applications. The refractory particles may be of the same chemical nature or of a different chemical nature. The impregnation of the fibrous texture is here carried out with a tool 200 similar to the tooling 100 described above in relation to FIGS. 1 to 6 and therefore comprises the same elements, namely: a mold 210 comprising a bottom 211 having a vent 212 and a side wall 213 having an injection port 214 equipped with a valve 2140 (Figure 7), - a cover 230 having an injection port 231 equipped with a valve 2310 and a deformable membrane 240, for example made of silicone, which, once the tooling is closed (FIG. 7), separates an impregnation chamber 201 in which is present a fibrous texture 40 of a compaction chamber 202 situated above the membrane 240, - a piece of porous material 220 placed on the inner surface 211a of the bottom 211 and having a lower face 220b in contact with the inner surface 211a of the bottom 211 and an upper face 220a for receiving the fibrous texture 40. 10 Dan In the example described here, the porous material part 220 is made of a rigid material and the upper face 220a of the porous material part 220 has a geometry corresponding to the shape of the final part to be manufactured, here an engine blade. aeronautics. Still in the example described here, the fibrous texture 40 is made according to one of the techniques described above with silicon carbide threads. The fibrous texture 40 is here intended to form the fibrous reinforcement of a blade of SiC / SIC composite material, that is to say a CMC material comprising a SiC fiber reinforcement densified by an SiC matrix. After placement of the texture 40 on the upper face 220a of the piece of porous material 220 and closure of the mold 210 with the cover 230, a first slip 250 is injected into the impregnation chamber 201 via the injection port 214 of which the valve 2140 is open (Figure 7). The slurry 250 is intended to allow the formation of the matrix portion present at the lower face 40b of the texture 40, which portion contributes to the surface state of the lower face of the final piece. Slurry 250 corresponds to a powder of SiC251 particles suspended in a liquid phase 252, the particles having a mean size or average particle size of between 0.1 μm and 5 μm. The liquid phase 252 of the slip may in particular consist of water (acidic pH), ethanol or any other liquid in which it is possible to suspend the desired powder. An organic binder can also be added (PVA for example, soluble in water). This binder makes it possible to ensure the holding of the raw material 35 after drying and before sintering.
    [0016] The amount of slip 250 injected into the impregnation chamber 201 is determined as a function of the thickness of the layer of particles 251 that is desired to form from the underside of the texture.
    [0017] Once the slurry 250 has been injected into the impregnation chamber 201, the compaction operation is carried out by injecting a compression fluid 280, for example oil, into the compaction chamber 202 through the injection port 231. whose valve 2310 is open, the valve 2140 of the injection port 214 having been previously closed (Figure 8). The compression fluid 280 applies a pressure on the slip 250 through the membrane 240 which forces the slip 250 to penetrate into the fibrous texture 40. The particles 251 retained by the piece of porous material 220 are deposited by sedimentation from the lower face 40b of the texture 40 while the liquid phase 252 of the slip is drained outside the texture 40 by the part 220. When there is no longer any liquid flowing through the vent 112, the drainage by the piece of porous material 220 is completed. In combination with the application of a pressure on the slip by the compression fluid, a pumping P, for example by means of a primary vacuum pump (not shown in Figures 1 to 4), can be achieved at of the vent 112. This pumping is optional. Heating can suffice. However, the combination of both speeds up drying. After drying and optionally pumping, an intermediate fibrous preform 50 is obtained which has a layer 2510 of SiC 251 particles at its lower face 50b. The intermediate preform 50 is then released from the compaction pressure by emptying the compression fluid of the compaction chamber 202. After a possible cooling phase, the intermediate fibrous preform 50 is impregnated with a second slip 260 which is injected through the injection port 214, the valve 2140 of which is open (FIG. 9). . The slip 260 is intended to allow the formation of the refractory matrix at the heart of the preform 50, that is to say in the thickness of the preform 50 located between the lower faces 50b and 50a upper. The slip 260 corresponds to a powder of SiC 261 particles suspended in a liquid phase 262. The SiC 261 particles have a mean size or average particle size greater than that of the particles 251 which can be between 0.1 μm and 5 μm. pm. The liquid phase 162 of the slip may consist in particular of water (acidic pH), ethanol or any other liquid in which it is possible to put the desired powder in suspension. An organic binder can also be added (PVA for example, soluble in water). This binder ensures the holding of the raw material after drying and before sintering. The liquid phase 262 is preferably of the same kind as the liquid phase 252.
    [0018] The amount of slip 260 injected into the impregnation chamber 201 is determined as a function of the thickness of the intermediate fibrous preform 40 to be impregnated. Once the slurry 260 has been injected into the impregnation chamber 201, the compaction operation is performed by injecting again the compression fluid 280 as already described above. During the compaction operation, the particles 261 retained by the piece of porous material 220 are deposited by sedimentation in the preform while the liquid 262 of the slip 260 is drained from the preform by the part 220 (Figure 10).
    [0019] An intermediate fibrous preform 60 having a layer 2510 of SiC particles 251 at its lower face 60b and a layer 2610 of SiC particles 260 extending over the thickness of the preform are thus obtained. The intermediate preform 60 is then released from the compaction pressure by emptying the compression fluid from the compaction chamber 202. After a possible cooling phase, the intermediate fibrous preform 60 is impregnated with a third slip 270 which is injected through the injection port 214 whose valve 2140 is open (Figure 11). The slip 270 is intended, on the one hand, to complete the formation of the SiC matrix at the core of the preform 60, that is to say in the thickness of the preform 40 located between the lower faces 40b and upper 40a , and, secondly, to allow the formation of the matrix portion present at the upper face 60a of the preform 60, which portion contributes to the surface state of the upper face of the final piece. The slip 270 corresponds to a powder of SiC 271 particles suspended in a liquid phase 272, the particles 271 having a mean size or average particle size of between 0.1 μm and 5 μm. The liquid phase 272 of the slip may consist in particular of one of the liquids described above and is preferably of the same kind as the liquid phases 252 and 262. The panicles 271 may have the same size as the particles 251. have a size different from that of the particles 251 if it is desired to have different surface conditions between the lower face and the upper face of the final piece. The quantity of slip 270 injected into the impregnation chamber 201 is determined as a function of both the thickness of the layer of particles 271 that it is desired to form from the upper face of the texture and the volume of the interstices present between the particles 261 which must be filled by particles 271. Once the slip 270 has been injected into the impregnation chamber 201, the compaction operation is carried out by injecting again the compression fluid 280 as already described herein. -before. During the compaction operation, the particles 271 settle by sedimentation firstly in the interstices present between the particles 261 and then at the upper face 60a of the preform 60 while the liquid 272 of the slip 270 is drained from the the preform by the piece 220. In combination with the application of a pressure on the slip by the compression fluid, a pumping P, for example by means of a primary vacuum pump (not shown in Figures 1 to 4 ), can be performed at the level of the vent 112. This pumping is optional. Heating can suffice. However, the combination of both speeds up drying. Thus, a final fiber preform 70 having a layer 2510 of SiC particles 251 at its lower face 70b, a layer 2610 of SiC particles 261 extending over the thickness of the preform with particles 271 in the interstices is obtained. and a layer 2710 of SiC particles 271 at its upper face 70a. The final preform 70 is then demolded by emptying the compression fluid from the compaction chamber 202. The preform 70 is extracted from the tooling and subjected to a heat treatment for sintering under air at a temperature of between 1800 ° C. and 2000. ° C to sinter the refractory SiC particles together and thereby form an SiC matrix in the preform. This gives a piece of SiC / SiC composite material provided with a fiber reinforcement obtained by 3D weaving which has a very low microporosity volume ratio and an improved surface condition compatible with aerodynamic applications. A piece of oxide / oxide composite material can be obtained in the same way by producing the fiber texture with refractory oxide fibers (eg alumina) and using a slurry loaded with refractory oxide particles (eg alumina, mullite , silica, etc.).
    [0020] The stages of impregnation of a fibrous structure with several slips and the stages of elimination of the liquid phase of each slurry may also be carried out with techniques other than that described above and implemented in the tooling. or 200. The techniques of infusion type, injection molding called "RTM" or aspiration of submicron powder called "APS" may also be used to implement the steps of impregnating a texture or preform fibrous with slip and the steps of removing the liquid phase from each slip.
