Silicon Carbide Fiber

Non-oxydic ceramic fibers, also called silicon carbide (SiC) fibers. Silicon carbide fibers uniquely combine high temperature resistance, high mechanical strength, and important properties against harsh environments such as acids or salts. High-quality fiber production is possible with TMA, minimizing unwanted mechanical problems. 

Applications

• Combustion and turbine section components of aero-propulsion and land-based gas turbine engines
• Heat exchangers, reformers, reactors, and filters for the chemical industry
• Preheaters, recuperators, and radiant tubes for the heat transfer industry
• Thermal protection systems, thruster nozzles, reusable rocket nozzles, and turbopump components for space vehicles
• Furnace components
• Nuclear fission and fusion reactors as fuel cladding and radiation blankets
