Abstract
Processes for making carbon/carbon parts are provided. The process involves compression, carbonization and densification steps. Pressure may be applied to a fibrous preform prior to the carbonization step at a temperature less than an exothermic temperature to increase the fiber volume ratio of the fibrous preform. The densification steps may include filling the voids of the fibrous preform with a carbon matrix.
