1. The following publications are only a small fraction of those published in the last 30 years, which are dealing with different CVI process technologies, their modeling, the material properties and models, and the various experimental results of application oriented tests, for example, in the field of corrosion or tribology. For more and deeper detail, a literature survey via the Internet in accessible databases or other sources is necessary.
