A brief review of the methods of fabrication of single crystalline oxide fibres is presented. It is
shown that the internal crystallisation method (ICM), that is crystallisation of the fibres in …

The only monocrystalline oxide fibre that has been used in numerous published works on
oxide-fibre/Ni-based-matrix composites is sapphire fibre. That work was aimed at obtaining …

The laser floating zone technique was used to grow large 2Al2O3–SiO2 mullite fibres (up to
1.6 mm in diameter and 40mm in length). The fibres grown at 10mm/h are single crystalline …

Single crystalline YAG fibres are now produced by an internal crystallization method.
Essentially, the method is crystallization of the oxide melt infiltrated into continuous channels …

The fibre/matrix interface in fibrous composites with brittle fibres can play a synergetic role in
developing creep resistance of the composites. Increasing the interface strength, which is …

Oxide fibers are attractive candidates to reinforce metal, intermetallic and ceramic matrices.
Sapphire fibers produced by the edge-defined, film-fed growth (EFG) method [1] seem to be …

Mullite-zirconia ceramics produced by powder metallurgy methods or directional
solidification are well-known materials that combine the high creep resistance of mullite and …

Single-crystal sapphire fibers are obtained by the Stepanov/edge-defined film-fed growth
(EFG) method. The procedure for obtaining them is described. Mechanical testing of the …

Most efforts in developing advance materials to be used in machines for transportation and
power generation have been always directed towards enhancing the energy efficiency of the …

In this paper, we obtain samples of composite materials with a layered niobium-based matrix
unidirectionally reinforced with single-crystal sapphire fibers using the solid-phase method …
