Having looked into and critically analyzed some of the processing issues, property requirements and more recently developed advanced composites based on the ultra-high temperature ceramics, in this section we summarize the various applications (current and potential) of these material classes. As has been emphasized in the preceding sections, UHTCs are nsed for applications that demand withstanding temperatures above 2000°C, along with harsh atmospheric conditions. Such conditions are typically enconntered dnring the re-entry of space shuttles into the atmosphere. Hence, a lot of research on UHTCs has been conducted with such applications in mind.

Ultra High Temperature Ceramics (UHTC) Ceramic materials based on borides and carbides for applications at temperature above 1600°C. 

Ultra High Temperature Ceramics (UHTCs) Class of ceramics based on transition metal diborides and carbides that display a combination of chemical-physical and mechanical properties suitable for applications in extreme environments. 

RMI is an economic andqnicklabricationprocess for ceramic matrixcomposite. Recently, continuous carbon fiber reinforced ZrC, HfC and TiC composite have been successfully fabricated by RMI, which attracts much attention due to the promising applications in fabrication of ultra high temperature ceramic matrix composite. Even though great achievements have been reached, substantive further investigations should be made. 

In summary, RMI is a promising fabrication route for ultra high temperature ceramic matrix composite. Further efforts should be made to perfect the RMI process. It is believed that RMI can emerge as a low cost process to provide high performance C/UHTC components for ultra high temperature applications in the future.

Ceramics and refractories cover a wide range of fields and applications, and their relevance can be traced as far back as 24,000 BC to the first man-made piece of earthenware, and as recently as the late 1900s when ceramics and ceramic matrix composites were developed to withstand ultra-high temperatures. Beginning with a detailed history of ceramics. An Introduction to Ceramics and Refractories examines every aspect of ceramics and refractories and explores the connection between them.The book establishes refractories as a class of ceramics with high fusion points, introduces the fundamentals of refractories and ceramics, and also addresses several applications for each.
