Alumina oxide fibers are generally used in metal matrices composite. They offer better compressive strength than tensile strength. The fibers can sustain high melting point (2000 °C) and the composite can be utilized up to about 1000 °C. Generally, the magnesium and aluminum matrices use alumina fiber reinforcements as they do not damage the fiber even in the liquid state.
