The article presents the results of an experiment on the application of a silicon carbide coating on an alumina fiber and studies the properties of the resulting coated fibers. The purpose of applying a barrier coating to the fibers is to protect the fiber from degradation during the manufacturing of a ceramic composite material. The paper gives the characteristics of barrier coatings, such as thickness, continuity, structure, thermal and thermo-oxidative properties. The obtained data will be useful in the development of new types of ceramic composite materials reinforced with fibers.
