Maximum Process Reliability and Energy Efficiency in Heat Treatment

The right choice of fixtures is critical for heat treatment efficiency. Traditional cast grids come with significant drawbacks: they are heavy, prone to deformation at high temperatures, and prolong cycle times. Our CFC fixtures made from carbon fiber-reinforced carbon (CFC) are a superior alternative. Their low weight, excellent thermal resistance, and robust construction enable faster loading and unloading of parts. This reduces process times, energy consumption, and the risk of distortion. We also offer tailored fixture systems, barrier components, and our modular UniGrid® system – providing flexible solutions for a wide range of heat treatment applications.

Reliable heat treatment requires durable and high-quality furnace components. Conventional materials quickly degrade under high heat, aggressive atmospheres, and mechanical stress. Our CFC and graphite components are specifically designed to withstand these extreme conditions and offer exceptional resistance to thermal and mechanical loads. Our product range includes high-temperature insulation materials, robust fasteners, and edge protection profiles that improve temperature uniformity, reduce energy loss, and extend furnace life.

Powder metallurgy places extreme demands on materials: high temperatures, gas pressures, and aggressive environments can quickly render standard components ineffective. Our CFC and graphite solutions are designed to meet these challenges. They enable precise temperature control in sintering, hot pressing, and CVD coating processes. Their outstanding heat resistance and dimensional stability support reproducible results, enhanced process control, and significantly lower operating costs.

Graphite is key to clean, efficient, and durable continuous casting. Our graphite molds and crucibles are ideal for casting non-ferrous and precious metals. They offer excellent chemical and thermal resistance, ensuring metallurgically neutral processing – without particle inclusion or material distortion. Drawing on decades of experience, we develop custom graphite solutions with consistently high thermal conductivity, outstanding thermal shock resistance and excellent lubricity. These properties support smooth operations and high product quality – from melt to final cooling.
