C/C Composites loading fixture for aluminizing, oil quenching and processes with aggressive media

Mersen’s unique 2.5D composite differs from the common 2D Carbon/Carbon materials by the pyrolithic graphite matrix and reinforcement in the third direction which gives it incredible resistance to delamination and attack of chemical substances.

Advantages of 2.5D Aerolor® Composite

Lifetime X2: this is the expectation of 2.5D in heat treatment processes with aggressive and liquid media in comparison to 2D Carbon/Carbon composites

• High density,

• Lowest reactivity (among all graphite materials) to oxidizing gases and chemical substances due to the pyrocarbon matrix (double higher lifetime) 

• Lower absorption of oil,

  • Low micro-porosity.

• High resistance to delamination and mechanical shocks due the 3-D direction reinforcement.

  • High breakage resistance, especially when no accurate manipulation occurs in charging/discharging the vacuum furnace

• Size up to 2.1 m in diameter, standard thickness up to 50 mm, up to 80 mm is possible.
