Abstract

A method of manufacturing a carbon-carbon brake disc uses a restraint fixture (12) that includes a preform retention region configured to limit contracting forces applied against a preform (10) in the preform retention region when the restraint fixture (12) thermally contracts. In one embodiment, the restraint fixture (12) comprises a band (12) having a first surface defining the preform retention region and a first expansion portion (26, 28, 29) adapted to deform upon application of a force to the band (12).
