This paper summarizes the mechanical properties of recently developed Oxide Fiber Composites (OFCs) consisting of high‐strength continuous oxide fibers embedded in an oxide matrix. The OFCs exhibit a favorable combination of high strength and damage tolerance due to unusual homogeneous microstructures. The tensile behavior in both fiber‐ and matrix‐dominated loadings and interlaminar shear behavior are described. Special emphasis is placed on the attractive thermal shock resistance and high‐temperature long‐term performance of these new materials.
