Abstract
A method for producing a consolidated fiber preform intended for the manufacture of a part made of composite material, includes shaping a fiber texture in a heated metal mold, the texture being pre-impregnated with a transient or fugitive material, or shaping a fiber texture in a metal mold and injecting a transient or fugitive material into the fiber texture held in shape in the metal mold, cooling the mold, removing the set fiber preform from the mold, coating the fiber preform with a slurry containing a powder of ceramic or carbon particles, heat-treating the coated fiber preform so as to form a porous shell around the fiber preform by consolidation of the slurry and so as to remove the transient or fugitive material present in the fiber preform, consolidating the fiber preform by gas-phase chemical infiltration.
