Carbon-Carbon Composite manufactured as sheets from 4mm to 125mm thick this material is essentially a fracture tough, fiber reinforced graphite often referred to as a “CFC”. Good for use in air to 750F (400C) and can be used to 3600F (2000C) when protected by an inert environment or vacuum. Key attributes include thermal shock resistance, fracture toughness, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, temperature stability, with a very low coefficient of thermal expansion. Machines quite well with intricate features possible for complex shapes. Common applications include hot glass handling tooling, powdered metal sintering trays, atmosphere and vacuum furnace racks and hardware, spark plasma sintering dies, high temperature nuts, bolts, fasteners, racing brakes and clutches, sputtering targets, and components used in energy production.Information provided by Carlisle Brake & Friction. |
