Disclosed herein is a chemical vapor infiltration method including flowing ceramic precursors through a preform and depositing a matrix material on the preform at a first gas infiltration pressure, increasing the gas filtration pressure to a second gas infiltration pressure, and lowering the gas infiltration pressure to a third gas infiltration pressure which is intermediate to the first and second gas infiltration pressures.
