Support tooling for porous preforms to be infiltrated and oven using such a tooling

A support tooling for porous preforms intended to be infiltrated by a molten metal, the tooling comprising:

• a rack comprising two suspension bars each extending longitudinally along a first direction, said two suspension bars being held spaced apart from one another along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;
• a plurality of supports for the porous preforms removably mounted on the suspension bars, each support comprising a first portion connected to one of the suspension bars by a connection sliding along a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions and a second portion extending from the first portion and comprising support elements which are able to hold a porous preform by point or linear contact,
• wherein the second portion of each support comprises two longitudinal arms extending along the third direction, each arm including one or more clamping members which are able to cooperate with openings present on a porous preform.
