A study of the physicomechanical properties of carbon fibers at high temperatures

The tensile behavior of carbon fibers at high temperatures up to 2400 °C

“…Young's modulus decreases gently in a first step, and then rather steeply at temperatures above %1000°C for the FC2 fiber and %1200°C for the other fibers. This trend is similar to that one reported in the literature [1][2][3].…”

“…Mostovoi et al [2] measured the mechanical properties of a PAN-based carbon fiber (VMN-RK high temperature carbon fiber) in the temperature range 20-2000°C . Strength increased first by about 40% from room temperature to 1500°C and then it dropped at 2000°C.…”
