Jo. Stromolsen et al., FINE METALLIC AND CERAMIC FIBERS BY MELT EXTRACTION, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 179, 1994, pp. 158-162
Techniques are described for the fabrication of metal and ceramic fibe
rs of diameter below 20 mum by a method of melt extraction. The proces
s is containerless and has been successfully applied to reactive metal
s and high temperature ceramics. The properties of the fibers, where e
xceptional, are reviewed.
