Abstract

Fiber-reinforced composites consisting of combination of SiC and C have been explored as materials having thermostructural characteristics suitable for elevated temperature applications [1–4]. There are two opposing strategies. One uses C fibers and a matrix of SiC, usually produced by CVI [5, 6]. The other uses SiC fibers and a matrix consisting of C ; those are designated CERACARBTM and were studied in this paper.
