CFC is a unique material with properties never reached.

The Coefficient of thermal expansion, short C.T.E. value, is around zero. CFC doesn’t change dimensions and form in technical vacuum and inert gas atmospheres. 

Even extreme thermal shocks don't weak Carbon Fiber Reinforced Carbon (CFC). If you are using technical oil quenching media or High Pressure Cooling technology, CFC Fixtures are the best choice.

If you have any concerns, e.g. about oil ab- or desorption due to some open porosity of CFC, let's talk - we have after 30 years of experience for many challenges an effective and efficient solution.

Furthermore, CFC is not creeping at high temperatures under load and not aging caused e.g. by carburizing furnace atmospheres. Vacuum and inert gases are CFCs best friends.

CFC is first Fixture material I know which allows easy and reliable automatic handling in heat treatment processes. Up to fully integrated material flow solutions between soft and hard machining.

At High Temperature Concept, we’re excited about how CFC-Fixtures can revolutionize heat treatment operations across industries. If you’re looking to save energy, improve product quality, and reduce cycle times, exploring CFC technology could be the next big step for your shop.

The initial photo shows a robot application for Lemken, Germany we realized with partners at the Fraunhofer institute in 2001, some CFC was used as well, but, not CFC Racks needed. Other applications I am not allowed to publish.
