This is a Phase II Small Business Research Initiative grant             to continue the progress achieved during the Phase I grant.                     During Phase I, it was demonstrated that a silicon carbide fiber                was produced which exhibited tensile strength of three hundred                  thousand pounds per square inch, an elastic modulus of fifty                    eight million pounds per square inch, virtually no degradation of               properties after exposure to temperatures of twelve hundred                     degrees centigrade for three hours.  The Phase II program seeks                 to optimize the processing of the fiber to achieve strength in                  excess of five hundred thousand pounds per square inch, elastic                 modulus of sixty million pounds per square inch, with similar                   thermal stability.                                                                                                                                                      Fibers of silicon carbide are used in ceramic. and metal.               matrix composites. These materials are used in heat engines.  The               current research is aimed at improving the resistance of the                    fibers to high temperatures.  The development of this fiber will                obviate the need for the United States to import silicon carbide                fibers, and will provide an opportunity to export them.
