“…Furthermore, because of excellent thermal fatigue resistance, start-up and shut-down cycles and coolant loss scenarii should not induce significant structural damage [5]. The CVI SiC/SiC are also considered for applications as structural materials in fusion power reactors, because of their low neutron-induced activation characteristics coupled with excellent mechanical properties at high temperature [6][7][8].…”

CVI SiC/SiC composites are manufactured via Chemical Vapor Infiltration Process. The SiC-based matrices are deposited from gaseous reactants on to a heated substrate of SiC fiber preforms. An interphase coated on the fibers allows control of damage and mechanical behavior.The advantageous properties of CVI SiC/SiC composites such as their excellent high temperature strength, creep and corrosion resistances, low density, high toughness, resistance to shocks, fatigue and damage, and reliability make them ideal candidates for the replacement of metals and ceramics in many engineering applications involving loads, high temperatures and aggressive environments. Mechanical properties exhibit features that differentiate CVI SiC/SiC composites from monolithic ceramics and glasses, from other ceramic matrix composites and from other composites.

“…Pure SiC was found chemically stable in static Pb-17Li and its stability is expected up to 900°C based on Gibbs free energy consideration [65]. The corrosion is not the only potential limiting factor of SiC in Pb-17Li, since the liquid metal flows at different velocities through the blanket system, and its velocity is higher in the first wall region, where the temperature is higher too.…”

“…Silicon carbide (SiC) is an attractive material for future fusion reactors since it has low induced radioactivity, quick decay of activity, low heat evolution after neutron irradiation, low atomic number, good fracture resistance, excellent high-temperature mechanical and thermal properties and corrosion resistance [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Furthermore, SiC shows good resistance to high-energy neutron irradiation up to very high neutron fluences [7][8][9][10][11].…”
