Abstract
Fiber reinforced self-healing ceramic composite consists of oxide fiber bundle, oxide matrix and non-oxide interlayer, exhibiting the ultrahigh self-healing ability. The superior self-healing ability gives the composite time-dependent type life time, although the ordinary ceramics have to take into consideration the probability of occurrence of excessive load. Therefore, the composite can actualize the ceramic turbine blade substituting from the ordinary metal turbine blade, lead to develop an advanced jet engine having 15% higher fuel efficiency than the latest jet engine.
