Silicon Carbide (SiC) Fiber is a type of advanced ceramic fiber known for its high-temperature stability and exceptional mechanical properties. It is primarily used in applications that require materials to withstand extreme environments, such as in aerospace, defense, and industrial applications.
At present, as the core reinforcement material of advanced ceramic matrix composites (CMC), the global high-end supply of silicon carbide fiber is still highly concentrated in the hands of a few leading companies in Japan (such as Nippon Carbon, UBE), China and the United States. The core production process, precursor synthesis and high-temperature heat treatment equipment have long been restricted by patents and technology blockades, and the cost per kilogram is high, resulting in its main application still focusing on strategic high ground such as hot end components of aviation engines, nuclear reactor fuel cladding and advanced protective equipment, and has not yet penetrated into civilian or low value-added scenarios on a large scale.
From the perspective of technological development, the key evolution direction of the new generation of silicon carbide fiber is to control the SiC grain size and crystallinity by doping metal elements (such as aluminum, titanium, and zirconium), improve oxidation resistance and high-temperature creep performance, and at the same time, by optimizing the precursor purification process, fiber coating uniformity and interface matching, reduce fiber breakage rate, and improve product consistency and reliability. With this as the core, high-end CMC in the future is expected to maintain better structural stability under service conditions above 1550℃, supporting the safety requirements of a new generation of aviation gas turbines and advanced nuclear power plants with higher thrust ratios.
In general, the silicon carbide fiber market will remain a typical representative of high-end niche and targeted expansion in the short term. In the medium term, it will form rigid demand growth in the fields of aerospace, advanced nuclear energy, ultra-high temperature protection and high-end friction. In the long term, it is expected to sink to sub-high-end fields such as civil gas turbines, rail transit and high-end friction brake parts, provided that substantial breakthroughs continue to be made in cost, process yield and batch consistency.
