Fiber‐reinforced ceramic composites achieve high toughness through distributed damage
mechanisms. These mechanisms are dependent on matrix cracks deflecting into fiber/matrix …

An oxide/oxide ceramic fiber‐matrix composite (CMC) has been extensively characterized
for high‐temperature aerospace structural applications. This CMC is called GEN‐IV™, and it …

Abstract Hi‐Nicalon™‐S SiC fiber strengths and Weibull moduli were measured after
oxidation for up to 100 hours between 700° C and 1400° C in wet and dry air. SiO2 scale …

Creep of Nextel™ 720 alumina–mullite fiber tows was investigated at 1100 and 1200° C for
tensile stresses of 100–400 MPa in air and in steam. Fiber microstructures were …

The oxidation and scale crystallization kinetics of Hi‐NicalonTM‐S SiC fibers were
measured after oxidation in dry air between 700° and 1400° C. Scale thickness …

The oxidation behavior of a developmental amorphous SiBCN fiber was investigated. Fibers
were heat‐treated in stagnant laboratory air at temperatures of 1300°–1500° C for 1 or 2 h …

The current state of research on hexaluminates as a potential cleavable oxide fiber–matrix
interphase is reviewed. Calcium hexaluminate was used initially to produce highly textured …

Washed and unwashed rhabdophane (LaPO4· xH2O) sols were used to apply monazite
coatings to 3M Nextel 720 and 610 fibers. This precursor was designed to minimize stress …

Parabolic rate constants for SiO2 glass (BG) and cristobalite (BC) scale formation during
passive oxidation of SiC in steam were determined. Cristobalite scale that originally formed …

The crystallization kinetics for SiO2 formed by oxidation of Hi‐Nicalon™‐S SiC fiber
between 800 and 1600° C in Si (OH) 4 (g) saturated steam were determined. Glass SiO2 …
