| SCS-Ultra™ silicon carbide fiber, a 1M psi tensile strength fiber was developed to meet the most demanding applications for aerospace materials. It is a fiber with very fine silicon caribde crystallites (200 nm or less) that is 50% stronger and 10% stiffer than SCS-6 fiber and is stable at temperatures above 2500°F. Several high temperature titanium aluminide composite turbine engine parts were successfully developed using SCS-Ultra™ as the fiber reinforcement. It is also extremely effective as a reinforcement for ceramic matrix composites.Information provided by Specialty Materials, Inc. |
