An increase the operating temperature range of structural elements and aircraft assemblies is one of the main goals in developing advanced and new models of aerospace equipment to improve their technical characteristics. The most heat-loaded aircraft structures, such as a combustion chamber, high-pressure turbine segments, nozzle flaps with a controlled thrust vector, must have a long service life under conditions of high temperatures, an oxidizing environment, fuel combustion products, and variable mechanical and thermal loads. At the same time, modern Ti and Ni-based superalloys have reached the limits of their operating temperatures. The leading world aircraft manufacturers — General Electric (USA), Rolls-Royce High Temperature Composite Inc. (USA), Snecma Propulsion Solide (France) — actively conduct fundamental research in developing ceramic materials with high (1300 – 1600°C) and ultrahigh (2000 – 2500°C) operating temperatures. However, ceramic materials have a number of shortcomings attributed to the high brittleness and low crack resistance of monolithic ceramics. Moreover, manufacturing of complex configuration and large-sized ceramic parts faces serious difficulties. Nowadays, ceramic composite materials with a high-temperature matrix (e.g., based on ZrC-SiC) and reinforcing filler, an inorganic fiber, (e.g., silicon carbide) appeared most promising for operating temperatures above 1200°C and exhibited enhanced energy efficiency. Ceramic fibers based on silicon compounds possess excellent mechanical properties: the tensile strength more than 2 GPa, modulus of elasticity more than 200 GPa, and thermal resistance at a temperature above 800°C, thus making them an essential reinforcing component in metal and ceramic composites. This review is devoted to silicon carbide core fibers obtained by chemical vapor deposition of silicon carbide onto a tungsten or carbon core, which makes it possible to obtain fibers a 100 – 150 μm in diameter to be used in composites with a metal matrix. The coreless SiC-fibers with a diameter of 10 – 20 μm obtained by molding a polymer precursor from a melt and used mainly in ceramic composites are also considered. A comparative analysis of the phase composition, physical and mechanical properties and thermal-oxidative resistance of fibers obtained by different methods is presented. Whiskers (filamentary crystals) are also considered as reinforcing fillers for composite materials along with their properties and methods of production. The prospects of using different fibers and whiskers as reinforcing fillers for composites are discussed.

The finished products obtained when the surfaces of powders of refractory materials (diamond, boron nitride, silicon carbide, tungsten carbide, tungsten) were coated with thin films by the method of iodide transport are presented. The developed method enables to obtain powder composite materials of core-shell type that have surface thickness varying in the range from 1 nm to several micrometers. From the powders modified by the films of metals and thier compounds composite materials were developed, their physical and mechanical characteristics were studied. The characteristics turned out to be substantially higher in comparison to materials sintered from the same powders but without coating. The probable fields of use of the composites in question were determined.

The article presents the results of a study of composite materials based on diamond-lonsdaleite abrasive (DLA) and various binders (Fe–Ti mechanocomposite, silicon carbide SiC). A metal-matrix composite material with a multimodal nano- and microlevel structure, characterized by increased adhesion of diamond grains to the binder, is obtained on the basis of impact diamonds and a Fe–Ti nano-mechanical composite. It is shown that the use of impact diamonds in comparison with synthetic diamonds makes it possible to reduce the pressure of thermobaric treatment by 30–50 % at the same sintering temperatures. The use of Fe–Ti–DLA composites in the process of magnetic-abrasive polishing (MAP) makes it possible to increase the removal rate of material based on silicon by 1.5–2 times and reduce the processing time by 30 % compared to ferroabrasive powder (FAP) based on synthetic diamonds. The effect of adding of silicon carbide on the process of obtaining a superhard composite material impact diamond – SiC is investigated. It is found that adding of SiC helps to reduce the defectiveness of the material and increase the homogeneity of its structure in comparison with the material without adding of a binder. In this case, an increase in the content of SiC and Si also leads to an inversion of the structure type of the superhard composite from polycrystalline to matrix. It is found that the additional use of amorphous soot and boron affects the refinement of the matrix structure of the composite material due to the formation of boron carbide and secondary finely dispersed silicon carbide.
