S. Motojima et al., PREPARATION OF MICRO-COILED SIC AND TIC FIBERS BY VAPOR-PHASE METALLIZING OF MICRO-COILED CARBON-FIBERS, Journal of Materials Science, 31(17), 1996, pp. 4641-4645
Micro-coiled fibres of SiC and TiC were prepared by the vapour phase m
etallizing of micro-coiled carbon fibres with full preservation of the
coiling morphology of the source coiled carbon fibres, and their prep
aration conditions and bulk electrical resistivity were examined. The
SiC1,0 coils were obtained at 1400 degrees C for 2 h, and TiC1.0 coils
were obtained at 1100-1200 degrees C for 1.5 h. The bulk resistivity
of the coiled TiC fibres sharply decreased with the bulk density and w
as 10(-2) S-1 cm at 1.4 g cm(-3).
