CONTINUOUS FIBERS BASED ON ALUMINA (review)

The article provides an overview of the continuous alumina-based fibers currently produced as well as their production technologies, major manufacturers and applications. Ceramic fibers are relatively new species and are of particular interest at the modern stage of technology development, since their advantages make them promising in the creation of new types of composite materials. A large number of polycrystalline oxide fibers have been developed, both for refractory insulation and for reinforcing composites.
