Be aimed at the development and application of aerospace high-temperature resistant ceramic fiber felt, in this paper, as the common ceramic fiber felt in the field of high temperature resistance, quartz fiber felt, high silica fiber felt and mullite fiber felt were compared. The microstructure, thermal insulation, temperature resistance and mechanical properties were analyzed respectively, the performance advantages and disadvantages of three kinds of ceramic fiber felt were given, and its internal causes were studied. The results show that, the temperature resistance of mullite fiber felt is better than that of quartz fiber felt and high silica fiber felt, mainly due to its polycrystalline mullite structure, the thermal insulation performance of mullite fiber felt and high silica fiber felt is better than quartz fiber felt at high temperature, mainly due to the thermal reflection of polycrystalline mullite and the small pore structure of high silica fiber felt, the compressibility of quartz fiber felt is better than high silica fiber felt and mullite fiber felt.
