This project studies relavent reaction parameters in the development of         silicon carbide fibers through a novel low temperature metallurgical            process that converts carbon into silicon carbide.  A copper silicon            eutectic system is used to carry out the reaction at lower temperature.         The research program is designed to study the reactivity of various             types of precursor carbon, the effect of porosity, and the wetting              characteristics of small radius filaments by molten metals.                     Silicon carbide fibers are increasingly used for high temperature               composites.  However, the commercial processes used have the following          limitations:                                                                    1.  high processing costs                                                       2.  presence of impurities                                                      3.  inability to produce long fibers.                                           This project addresses some of the weaknesses of the current processes          and proposes an improved method of processing silicon carbide fibers.
