Critical issues and current status of SiC/SiC composites for fusion
TL;DR: SiC fiber-reinforced SiC matrix composites (SiC/SiC) are being considered as a candidate structural material for fusion reactors because of their low induced radioactivity by 14 MeV neutron irradiation and high-temperature strength.

A review of third generation SiC fibers and SiCf/SiC composites
TL;DR: In this article, the fabrication and properties of the third generation SiC fibers are compared and discussed and their future development is prospected, while their preparation processes and their application in aeroengine and nuclear energy fields are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of heat treatment on the tensile strength and creep resistance of advanced SiC fibers
TL;DR: In this article, SiC-based fibers, HiNiclaon™, Hi-Nicalon™ type S and Tyranno™-SA, were heat treated at 1300-1900 °C in Ar for 1 h. After heat treatment, room temperature tensile strength and 1-h bend stress relaxation (BSR) were evaluated for these fibers.

The transverse thermal conductivity of 2D-SiCf/SiC composites
TL;DR: In this article, the Hasselman-Johnson (H-J) model was used for predicting the effective transverse thermal conductivity (Keff) of a 2D-SiCf/SiC composite with a fiber-matrix thermal barrier.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical and thermal properties of 2D and 3D SiC/SiC composites
TL;DR: The thermal conductivity of SiC fiber-reinforced SiC composites (SiC/SiC), whose preforms had 3D satin weave or 2D non-woven fabric, were fabricated by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) or polymer impregnation and pyrolysis (PIP) as mentioned in this paper.
