Abstract
Continuous silicon carbide fibre yarn has been used as a reinforcement for borosilicate and 96% silica glass matrices. The resultant composites exhibit excellent levels of strength and elastic modulus up to temperatures of 600‡ C and 1100‡ C, respectively. At higher temperatures excessive matrix softening causes a significant reduction in composite flexural strength.
