SiC fibers are finding novel uses in the nuclear industry. Silicon carbide-based fibers are increasingly being used in various nuclear applications as they are resistant to nuclear radiations. Their ability to withstand high temperatures coupled with lightweight and high tensile strength, has made it an indispensable technical ceramic used in making nuclear reactors. Moreover, these fibers are known to offer resistance to corrosion and oxidation and hence are used in producing radiation blankets, and fuel claddings for the nuclear fission and fusion reactors in the nuclear industry. Its superior chemical properties and stability over very high temperature along with heat resistance and irradiation stability makes them perfect for use and has been considered as an attractive option for advanced nuclear energy systems. Companies are looking forward to new improvements such as reinforcing SiC fibers and its composites in the process called NITE (Nano-powder Infiltration and Transient Eutectoid (NITE)). Further, the growing use of the SiC fibers in nuclear power plants for producing channel boxes and fuel cladding is fuelling the growth of the SiC fibers market.
With the rise in industrialization and expansion of aerospace, power generation, industrial, and chemical industry across North America, the demand for silicon carbide fiber is increasing. Although, the growth of the silicon carbide fiber is largely affected by the high cost of raw material and technology challenges. To meet out the restraint of the market, manufacturers are looking forward to a better and improved form of silicon carbide fiber. Silicon carbide fiber is popularly available in two forms: beta and alpha. The beta form of silicon carbide fiber was developed in 1990 and was made commercially available at high prices. However, they are increasingly replaced by the new alpha forms of SiC fibers. They are known for their chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties along with attractive degradation-resistant and high-temperature reinforcing ceramic, which makes them an ideal material to be used in energy, transportation, aerospace, defense, industrial and nuclear applications. They are used in products such as armor, rockets, high-temperature semiconductors, abrasives, wear components, turbine engines plus metal and ceramic matrix composites. The demand for alpha-SiC fibers ceramic material is rising in comparison to βbeta-SiC fibers as they offer high tensile strength and durability, lightweight, higher thermal conductivity, better resistance to corrosion, and oxidation amongst others.
North America SiC fibers market is segmented on the country as Canada and US. US holds a dominating share of the North America SiC fibers market. The large industrial and manufacturing base in US is anticipated to generate considerable demand for SiC fibers.
