The extraction behaviour of stainless steel fibres from a ceramic refractory matrix has been studied by way of pullout tests and scanning electron microscopy observations. The effect of first heating of such composites has been characterised both by room temperature pullout tests and by dilatometric experiments. High temperature pullout tests have been performed too. Mechanical and microstructural evolutions are discussed with the help of analytical models.
