3M Nextel™ 720 Composite Ceramic Fiber
Subcategory: Oxide, Silicon; Oxide, Aluminum; Oxide; Composite Fibers
Key Words: Alumina, Aluminum Oxide
Material Notes: Chemical composition above is wt%. Filament diameter is 10-12 µm. 3M Nextel Ceramic Fibers 610, 650, and 720 are composite grade fibers. They have a refined crystal structure based on alpha-Al2O3 and do not contain glassy phases. This allows the fibers to retain their strength at high temperatures. 3M Nextel Fiber 720, an alpha-Al2O3 with SiO2 addition (forming alpha-Al2O3/mullite), has improved strength retention at temperature due to reduced grain boundary sliding. The SiO2 addition also help to 'pin' the grains and reduce grain growth when exposed to thermal aging. Information provided by 3M Ceramic Textile and Composites.
