Carbon/carbon composites (also known as reinforced carbon-carbon or RCC) are made by reinforcing carbon fibers with a graphite matrix. These composites are extremely tough and advanced, able to withstand extreme temperatures, thermal shock and chemical corrosion, making them ideal for a variety of industrial applications.
Carbon-Carbon Composite Manufacturing Process
We weave high-performance fibers together, then impregnate and carbonize them to form a strong matrix and process them in a furnace. Depending on your application needs, we can apply optional coatings such as silicon carbide to improve oxidation resistance.
Advantages of Carbon-Carbon Composites
High temperature resistance: Withstands temperatures up to 3000°C.
Lightweight: High mechanical strength while being lightweight.
Chemical inertness: Resistant to corrosive chemicals such as acids and alkalis.
Low thermal expansion: Will not break during drastic temperature changes.
High thermal conductivity: Dissipates heat effectively.
Customizable: Can be manufactured to your specifications.
Applications of Carbon-Carbon Composites
RCC components are integral to multiple industries including aerospace, automotive, mechanical engineering, metalworking, defense, rail, and more.
Heat Treating Furnaces
Carbon-carbon components, such as trays and liners, are designed to protect furnace components during annealing, sintering, and quenching.
High-Temperature Molds
C/c composite molds enable ceramic and metal parts to be reliably, uniformly produced and replicated in a clean environment.
Semiconductor Equipment
Carbon-carbon components maintain the purity and precision required for silicon wafer production in CVD reactors.
Braking Systems
Carbon-carbon composite brake discs provide consistent performance even in high-stress areas such as heavy machinery or rail systems
Aerospace and Defense Parts
RCC parts withstand extreme atmospheric conditions without structural damage, such as heat shields, thrusters, and nozzles.
Carbotech can also customize the extreme high temperature graphitization furnace for you.
