ADVANTAGES TO OTHER COMPOSITE GRADES:
HIGHER LIFETIME, LESS MAINTENANCE STOPS AND IMPROVED PRODUCT QUALITY
- High resistance to vibration and mechanical shock due to the reinforcement in the 3-D direction
- Lowest reactivity (among all graphite materials) to oxidizing gases and chemical substances due to the pyrocarbon matrix
- Less impact of degraded composite surface on glass
Advantages to metal:
Clean process without oil
- Carbon/Carbon doesn’t need any oil or lubrication system: your process is cleaner without oil contamination
- Requested to be FDA compliant
- Carbon/Carbon improves quality as there is no metal contact, and therefore no contamination, between glass and metal
More economical in comparison to metal
- Carbon/Carbon could replace expensive tungsten for some parts
