The microstructure of carbon/carbon composites obtained by isothermal, isobaric chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) of carbon fiber preforms consisting of aligned fiber bundles separated by fiber fleeces was studied comparatively by polarized light microscopy (PLM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) combined with selected area electron diffraction (SAED). Deposition rate as well as matrix microstructure do not differ in the aligned fiber bundles and fiber fleeces exhibiting different local surface area/volume ratios. The matrices which are homogeneously textured according to PLM exhibit pronounced spatial texture gradients at the sub-μm-scale if investigated by SAED. The texture gradients appear to be independent on the infiltration time, distance between fibers but evidently depend on the total methane pressure. TEM and SEM observations show a thin high-textured layer between the fiber and the medium-textured transitional layer below the high-textured matrix layer containing columnar grains. This thin layer replicates the surface unevenness of the fiber surface while it is absent at the initial carbon fiber surface before infiltration.
