Abstract
Silicon carbide is being considered a possible candidate low activation material for the construction of important components (e.g., first wall coating, limitors, divertors and beam stops) of future commercial fusion reactors which will require excellent thermal and mechanical behaviour in high temperature environments and very high irradiation fields. In this paper a literature review covering the last ten years (up to 1990) is reported. It concerns silicon carbide properties, its relative manufacturing technologies and technological developments. One hundred and twenty-seven papers published in scientific magazines were selected and reviewed, out of 400 concerning silicon carbide in general. Several important analogies and possible industrial synergies for its use both in fusion reactors and in aerospace devices were found. The material as produced today, the design methodology and the technology are relatively new and seem to need further development. Moreover, extensive research work is necessary to better evaluate silicon carbide behaviour in fusion reactor operating conditions.
