Definition:
Usually spoolable filaments produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Typical multiphase fibers are boron, boron carbide and silicon carbide. These boron or silicon carbide fibers are actually composites; the boron or silicon carbide is a coating on a thin filament substrate of a material such as tungsten. Another type of multiphase or polyphase fiber is the core-sheath fiber consisting of a polycrystalline or crystallizable core material enclosed in a vitreous or glass-like sheath which allows high modulus oxide materials to be drawn into fibers or filaments of 25-200 μm (1 to 8 mils) in diameter.
