The SCS protective layer, developed for Textron (TM) silicon carbide monofilaments consists of a multilayer turbostratic carbon coating containing silicon carbide nanocrystals (Ning et al., 1990). The SCS coating in SCS-6 monofilaments is a 3±5 mm thick sacial layer, meaning it reacts with the titanium matrix, but does not allow the matrix to react with the fiber.
