An initial evaluation has been made of the tensile mechanical properties of SiC whiskers synthesized by a vapor-liquid-solid process. A micro- tensile tester and associated testing techniques were developed for this purpose. The SiC whiskers exhibit an average tensile strength of 8.40 GPa (1, 220,000 psi) and an average elastic modulus of 581 GPa (84,300,000 psi), and were considerably stronger and stiffer than continuous, polycrystalline SiC fibers. These results indicate ...
