      <image:caption>Tests have proven that high fiber strength is maintained up to 1200°C in an inert gas atmosphere. SiC fibers do not react with typical matrix alloys. SCS-6™ - The lowest cost fiber, with high strength properties, wettability for metals, low electrical conductivity, high heat resistance, and corrosion resistance/chemical stability. SCS-Ultra™ - A fiber for the most demanding applications. Produced at the same diameter as SCS-6, it is 50% stronger and 10% higher in modulus.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Silicon Carbide Fiber - SCS-Ultra™ silicon carbide fiber, a 1M psi tensile strength fiber was developed to meet the most demanding applications for aerospace materials. In the mid-1990s, turbine engine manufacturers wanted a fiber that could withstand the fabrication conditions of titanium aluminde to make a composite for use in rotating engine parts. Using its own resources, SMI developed SCS-Ultra™, a fiber with very fine silicon carbide crystallites (200 nm or less) that is 50% stronger and 10% stiffer than SCS-6 fiber and is stable at temperatures above 2500 deg F. Several high temperature titanium aluminide composite turbine engine parts were successfully developed using SCS-Ultra™ as the fiber reinforcement.</image:title>
      <image:caption>In addition to its outstanding effectiveness in titanium aluminide composites, SCS-Ultra™ is also extremely effective as a reinforcement for ceramic matrix composites. NASA Glenn Research Center has concluded that the most critical determinant for the high-temperature thermo-structural performance of a ceramic matrix composite is its creep-rupture strength, which in turn is highly dependent upon the creep resistance of the fiber.  NASA has found that the most creep-rupture resistant fiber at high temperatures is the SCS-Ultra™ manufactured by Specialty Materials, Inc.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Hy-Bor®, a combination of boron and carbon, allows designers the opportunity to improve the compressive properties of carbon composites. This schematic details the addition of discrete plies of Hy-Bor® within an aircraft wing spar allowing for increased payload due to improved compressive properties and lower structural weight. Up to 25% of the carbon plies have been eliminated with the use of Hy-Bor®. Additional benefits include the reduced labor costs with fewer plies, and improved open-hole compression strength around attachment holes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Gas Turbine Engines - Gas Turbine Engine Components</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of the areas of extensive R&amp;D effort over the past 20 years is the application of fiber reinforced composites in gas turbine engines for aircraft. Although resin matrix composites have begun to find application in the low temperature fan sections of these engines, there is a tremendous opportunity for weight reduction in higher temperature sections of these structures. The use of silicon carbide fiber reinforced titanium, commonly known as TMC, has been the primary composite candidate for both static and rotating components for mid-range temperature environments. The benefits of this material system include high strength-to-weight ratio and elevated temperature strength and stiffness.</image:caption>
