Silicon carbide (SiC) fibers are responsible for the ultimate strength and toughness of SiC-fiber reinforced composites in harsh environments. The development of a new generation of continuous SiC fibers continues to advance the mechanical properties of composite materials. Tyranno™ SA4 fiber was recently released as a successor of Tyranno™ SA3 fiber. Laser-driven chemical vapor deposition (LCVD) has been adopted as an alternative fiber processing route to synthesizing high-strength SiC fiber with tailorable small diameters and chemical compositions. Both Tyranno™ SA4 and laser-driven CVD fibers show very high tensile strength, about 4 GPa in the as-fabricated condition. The degradation of thermal stability and strength due to annealing in an inert environment were similar for Tyranno™ SA3 and SA4 fibers because of their similar carbon-rich, crystalline microstructure. Silicon-rich fibers produced by LCVD possessed heterogeneous crystallinity, which was attributed to laser power distribution and showed microstructural instability at 1500 °C and above. Finally, the new SiC fibers demonstrated an increase in as-fabricated strength but faced the same challenges in environmental resistance as the traditional SiC fibers do.
