“…Silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics and their composites have been considered for use as structural materials for high temperature applications (e.g., parts of engines and aerospace vehicles) because they have high chemical stability, superior high-temperature strength, low thermal expansion, and high thermal shock resistance [1][2][3][4]. They also have attractive properties regarding nuclear applications, including a low neutron absorption cross-section, low induced activation, and high resistance to neutron irradiation.…”
