Heat-Treatment

Heat-Treatment is one primary markets Neftec supports and suppliers with their trusted Carbon/Carbon composites. 

An area that was once dominated by High temp alloys and Graphite is now being replaced by C/C composites (CFC) due to end users understanding the advantages C/C has over these existing materials. Those advantages being lightweight, high strength, durability and excellent thermal conductivity. 

We have extensive knowledge working with small, medium and large scale metallurgical industries and their heat-treatment technologies. This includes;  annealing solution heat treatment, brazing, sintering, gas and oil hardening.

 

C/C Composites supporting Heat-Treatment

C/C (Carbon/Carbon) composites are widely used in a broad range of heat-treatment applications due to their exceptional thermal stability, mechanical strength, and resistance to thermal shock. From furnace fittings to fixtures, these advanced materials are ideal for high-temperature environments where traditional materials like metals or graphite may fail. Our C/C composites are trusted by leading industries, including Aerospace,  Automotive, Semiconductor, and Energy, for their ability to deliver consistent performance under extreme conditions.
