Carbon-Carbon, C/C Composite / Material Comparison

Advantages of Carbon-Carbon Composites over various other materials

CFC Design Technologies

Preformed Yarn Method

Although the Carbon-Carbon, C/C Composite has excellent performance, the conventional manufacturing method (impregnation method and CVD method) requires complicated steps and requires very long time to manufacture. And as a result it was extremely expensive. CFC Design have succeeded in a process simplification, shortening delivery time and reducing costs by developing innovative new manufacturing method called preformed yarn method (PY method).

PY (Preformed Yarn) Method

Fiber Orientation

By controlling the directional arrangement and the length of carbon fiber reinforcement that supports the carbon matrix, we are able to change the characteristics of the Carbon-Carbon, C/C Composite so that it can be used for different kinds of application.

Other Services and Solutions

When we hear the word “carbon”, much of what we hear is about carbon emissions into the atmosphere, and the negative impact on global warming through the greenhouse-gas effect. Although this is important, it is a result of carbon in the atmosphere in the form of carbon-dioxide gas. But carbon also takes on other solid forms, such as Carbon-Carbon, C/C Composite which is quietly gaining acceptance as an advanced carbon material that is able to significantly reduce energy consumption in today’s manufacturing world.

At CFC Design, we are continuously connecting materials, processes, systems and design to serve as the trusted advisor guiding manufacturers toward a smarter manufacturing future to support our global economy and enhance sustainable development.
