Abstract

The tensile strength of boron fibres, prepared on a tungsten wire substrate suspended in a closed CVD system, has been investigated. The influence of strain-rate, gauge length, and fibre diameter on the tensile fracture stress of the fibres has been evaluated and compared to fracture stress data of fibres produced in continuous CVD processes. Moreover, the E-modulus of the prepared fibres has been measured. Finally the surface defects of the fibres have been examined and classified into fracture stress depressive surface defects and non-fracture stress depressive surface defects.
