Abstract
Abstract The invention is related to a heat treatment method for silicon and carbon-containing ceramic fibers as well as fibers of the same nature with a laminated structure and having an external carbon layer. The processing method for the invention comprises a heat treatment in vacuum, during at least three hours and at a temperature of about 1000° C. This treatment yields fibers surrounded with a layer of endogenic SiO 2 , that is itself coated with a layer of endogenic carbon. Said fibers can be used to make composite materials with fiber reinforcement.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
74 words
A method of producing laminated silicon carbide-containing ceramic fibers which consists essentially of subjecting silicon carbide-containing ceramic fibers, previously obtained from polycarbosilane fibers crosslinked with oxygen, to a heat treatment at a temperature of about 1000° C., in a vacuum, for at least three hours to produce laminated silicon carbide-containing ceramic fibers, which are coated with an endogenic SiO 2 intermediate layer, which in turn is coated with an external layer of endogenic carbon.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
74 words
A method of producing laminated silicon carbide-containing ceramic fibers which consists essentially of subjecting silicon carbide-containing ceramic fibers, previously obtained from polycarbosilane fibers crosslinked with oxygen, to a heat treatment at a temperature of about 1000° C., in a vacuum, for at least three hours to produce laminated silicon carbide-containing ceramic fibers, which are coated with an endogenic SiO 2 intermediate layer, which in turn is coated with an external layer of endogenic carbon.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the heat treatment is carried out during a period of approximately 60 hours.
