連続熱処理：炭素繊維

Carbon fibers or carbon fibres (alternatively CF, graphite fiber or graphite fibre) are a modern material for high-tech applications. The fibers are about 5–10 micrometres in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. Carbolite Gero offers three main types of furnaces for carbon fibre R&D and production.

Debinding up to 800°C

The precursors for carbon fibres can be introduced into a tube furnace with metal work tube for debinding through inert gas counter flow flanges.

Pre-sintering up to 1300°C

When introduced into a tube furnace with a ceramic work tube pre-sintering of the carbon fibres up to 1300°C can be achieved.

High temperature sintering up to 2200°C

For temperatures above 1800°C, a water cooled vessel with graphite heaters and insulation is required for final sintering of the carbon fibres up to 2200°C.

Simultaneous heat treatment of multiple carbon fibres

Up to 4 fibres can be heat treated in one furnace at the same time.
