Overview of NASA Studies on High-Temperature Ceramic FibersNASA, DOD (Department of Defense), and DOE (Department of Energy) are currently looking to the NASA UEET (Ultra-Efficient Engine Technology) Program to develop ceramic matrix composites (CMC) for hot-section components in advanced power and propulsion systems. Success will greatly depend on developing ceramic fibers with a variety of key thermostructural properties, in particular, high as-produced tensile strength and retention of a large fraction of this strength for long times under the anticipated CMC service conditions. Current UEET approaches center on selecting the optimum fiber type from commercially available fibers since the costs for development of advanced fibers are high and the markets for high-temperature CMC have yet to be established.
