Advanced Ceramic Fibers, LLC, Metallic Carbide Composites
Hall 2 - 2186
 

Advanced Ceramic Fibers, LLC (ACF) is transforming the advanced materials marketplace by producing new composites best suited for extreme environments.
Fi-Bar uses superior performance characteristics, scalability, low cost, and single-step production process, allowing a platform for an entirely new approach to carbon fiber composite products.  

ACF is developing novel and affordable metallic carbide reinforcing fibers — pioneering the path to an entirely new generation of fiber reinforced ceramic, metal and polymer matrix composites. Fi-Bar offers the highest temperature and strength performance at the lowest cost-point of any competing silicon carbide fiber reinforcement material.  

ACF's novel, low-cost, Fi-Bar reinforcing fiber is a disruptive, multiple use, innovation that works in metals, ceramics and polymers just like "re-bar" is used in concrete. It's affordability, strength, high-temperature capability and corrosion resistance enables the design of products never before possible because of the performance limitations of existing materials. Fi-Bar can be incorporated into a variety of matrices, making composites 300-500% stronger and one-third lighter, improving its resistance to creep, oxidation, and abrasion.
