Summary
Tensile strength and grain growth of 3M Nextel 720™ fibers were measured after heat-treatment from 1000° to 1500°C for 20 minutes to 300 hours. Grain growth characteristics are discussed. Possible relationships between grain growth and fiber tensile strength are explored. Conditions under which tensile strength degradation was not related to grain growth are identified. Possible mechanisms for strength degradation are discussed.
