>Carbon Carbon Composite Materials Specifications

The main properties of carbon carbon composite are:

·        Ability to withstand very high temperatures up to 2800 C (inert atmosphere or in vacuum)

·        Very low thermal conductivity

·        Much stronger than high density graphite

·        Good thermal shock resistance

·        Self lubricating

·        High compressive strength

·        Good chemical resistance

·        Dimensionally stable

·        Low expansion coefficient

·        Strength increases with temperature

·        Low friction coefficient

·        Electrically conductive

·        Will start to oxidise in air at 450 C

Pyrolytic graphite coating can be applied to carbon carbon composite to make it cleaner and reduce particles
