Summary A way of fabrication of oxide fibres based on the internal crystallisation method and their mechanical properties are described. Among the fibres which are fabricated and analysed are such as alumina and alumina based eutectics Al2O3-Al5Y3O12, Al2O3-ZrO2(Y2O3), Al2O3-Gd2O3, etc... The fibres have clearly a potential as reinforcement for a variety of metal, intermetallic, and ceramic matrices since a balance between their mechanical properties and energy input into the fabrication process seem to be favourable for such applications.
Keywords oxide fibre, sapphire, eutectics, internal crystallization, oxide-fibre/nickel-aluminide-matrix composites, oxide-fibre/oxide-matrix composites, fibre coating.
