Verfahren und Vorrichtung zum kontinuierlichen laserinduzierten Beschichten von Endlosfaserbuendeln

The invention relates to a process and a device for the laser-stimulated coating of continuous fibre bundles from the gas phase permitting the application of the necessary coatings to carbon, graphite or silicon carbide fibres required for the production of preferably metal or ceramic matrix composite materials in continuous operation. According to the invention, the fibre bundles are spread evenly to form a fibre strip, transported through a reaction zone closed off by gas locks and irradiated there with laser light in a flowing atmosphere of the reactants.
