SiC fibers are manufactured with the help of pyrolysis of organosilicon polymers, such as polycarbosilane. Another method for the production of SiC fibers is the use of the CVD (chemical vapor deposition) method. High strength along with a lightweight, stability over high temperature, and resistance from oxidation and corrosion make it an ideal material to be across various ends use industries such as aerospace and defense, power and energy, chemical, automotive, and others. The rising focus towards the advancement of the performance of commercial and military aircraft is continuously driving the demand for high performance structural materials in the aerospace industry. Composite materials have gained acceptance for aviation and aerospace applications owing to exceptional strength coupled with superior physical properties and stiffness-to-density ratios. The aerospace industry is considered as the prime user of SiC fibers. The use of SiC fibers is important for application dealing in extreme mechanical loads at high temperatures (up to 1900 K in the air) and cannot be met out with any metallic material or intermetallic materials. Another most significant application field of silicon carbide composites relates to the manufacturing of such materials in spacecraft, which could possess lightweight and thermo-mechanical properties at the same time and could bear high temperatures. They are also used to manufacture thruster nozzles, reusable rocket nozzles, thermal protection systems, and turbo pump components for space vehicles. The growing application of silicon carbide fibers reinforced composites is motivating the manufacturers to replace the metal parts in aircraft with the fibers so as to boost the fuel efficiency of aircraft engines and used in the manufacturing of engines, thermal protection systems, and turbopumps. Companies are looking forward to expanding the application base of SiC fibers in the aerospace industry. For instance, in March 2017, it was reported that General Electric had adopted SiC fibers-based CMCs to produce its newgeneration jetliner engines so as to improve fuel efficiency. Furthermore, SiC fibers is also being demanded by the power generation industry. They are used to manufacture land-based gas turbine engines, radiation blankets, furnaces, and components, and other materials in the power and energy generation industry.
