US Patent:

7041266, May 9, 2006

Filed:

Jul 22, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/186941

Inventors:

Derek J. Angier - Simpsonville SC, US
James F. Rhodes - Greer SC, US
William M. Rogers - Taylors SC, US

Assignee:

Advanced Composite Materials Corp. - Greer SC

International Classification:

C01B 31/36

US Classification:

423345, 423346, 501 88, 501 951, 428221, 442362

Abstract:

Silicon carbide fibers are produced by mixing discontinuous isotropic carbon fibers with a silica source and exposing the mixture to a temperature of from about 1450 C. to about 1800 C. The silicon carbide fibers are essentially devoid of whiskers have excellent resistance to oxidation and excellent response to microwave energy, and can readily be formed into a ceramic medium employing conventional ceramic technology. The fibers also may be used for plastic and metal reinforcement.
