SiC fibers are advanced and have high-performance characteristics. These fibers are used as reinforcements for ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), polymer matrix composites (PMCs), and metal matrix composites (MMCs). Alpha and beta are the two main types of SiC fibers. According to some researchers, alpha SiC fibers are in the stage of development. Thus, there is very little focus on these fibers. SiC fibers can be supplied into continuous, woven cloth, and other forms, which are used by the aerospace & defense, energy & power, industrial sector, and other industries.
