MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS & BUYER RESOURCES

Explore Materials, Technical Data & Custom Options

Compare rigid graphite felt, soft graphite felt and carbon-carbon structural parts according to their functions in a vacuum furnace. Grade-specific specifications and purchase requirements are organized below.

01 / INSULATION BOARDS

Rigid Graphite Felt

Rigid panels, liners and shaped insulation components for compatible vacuum and non-oxidizing furnace environments.

Rigid graphite felt is used for insulation panels, door linings and shaped hot-zone components. Its rigid construction supports panels, cylinders and custom insulation geometries.

Selection depends on density, thermal conductivity, compressive strength, purity and the required dimensions. Temperature and atmosphere must be assessed for the chosen grade.

Common forms: Flat boards, curved panels, cylindrical sections, machined openings and selected surface-lamination options.

02 / FLEXIBLE INSULATION

Soft Graphite Felt

Flexible insulation sheets for layering, fitting and selected curved-surface configurations.

Soft graphite felt provides flexible, lightweight insulation layers where a conformable material is preferred. It may be used in selected furnace insulation and replacement arrangements.

Available options include PAN-based and rayon-based grades. Confirm thickness, density, ash content, operating conditions and handling requirements before choosing a grade.

Selection tip: Compare material-grade data and furnace atmosphere rather than relying only on a quoted maximum temperature.

03 / STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS

Carbon-Carbon Composites & CFC Fixtures

Structural carbon components for compatible furnace fixtures, load supports and custom assemblies.

Carbon-carbon composites (C/C or CFC) combine carbon fibers with a carbon matrix. Unlike insulation felt, these materials may be selected for structural fixtures where component geometry, mechanical loading and thermal cycling are important.

Grade selection must account for load, span, fiber orientation, atmosphere and chemical compatibility. Material properties vary with composite architecture and test direction.

Five Common CFC Component Types

CFC Plates

Plates and panels for selected supporting structures and high-temperature fixtures, with thickness and loads reviewed for the selected grade.

04 / MATERIAL SELECTION

Choosing Between Felt and C/C Components

Insulation materials and structural components solve different problems; compare function before comparing numerical properties.

Material Primary Use Typical Forms Key Selection Factors
Rigid Graphite Felt Shaped thermal insulation Boards, liners, cylinders, door insulation Conductivity, density, strength, purity, size
Soft Graphite Felt Flexible, layered insulation Sheets, fitted layers Thickness, density, conductivity, purity, handling
Carbon-Carbon Composites Structural furnace fixtures Plates, racks, trays, profiles, fasteners Load, expansion, fiber orientation, geometry
Machined Graphite Components Heating-related furnace parts Tubes, heaters, shields, custom parts Grade, resistivity, tolerances, operating conditions

Important: Graphite felt should not be selected as a mechanical support simply because it is temperature-resistant. C/C components still need evaluation for oxidation, process chemistry and applied loading.

11 / FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Technical & Purchasing FAQs

Concise answers for vacuum furnace material selection and procurement.

Q

What is the difference between rigid graphite felt and soft graphite felt?

Rigid graphite felt is generally selected where an insulation panel or shaped component needs to maintain a defined geometry. Soft graphite felt is flexible and can be used in layered or fitted insulation arrangements. The appropriate choice depends on the furnace design, material grade, and operating conditions.

Q

Can graphite felt insulation be customized for an existing furnace?

SHJ CARBON offers custom sizing and shaped insulation components subject to the selected material and manufacturing requirements. Drawings, dimensions, photos, and operating conditions help determine whether a suitable replacement can be supplied.

Q

Are carbon-carbon composites suitable for load-bearing furnace fixtures?

C/C composites can be suitable for selected loading racks, trays, support structures, and fasteners. The design must be evaluated against the required load, temperature, atmosphere, component geometry, and material properties.

Q

What information is needed to select graphite felt for a vacuum furnace?

The main information includes operating temperature, furnace atmosphere, insulation arrangement, required thickness, density or purity requirements, available space, and replacement dimensions.

Q

Can graphite and carbon-carbon materials be used in any high-temperature atmosphere?

No. Carbon-based materials can oxidize in oxygen-containing environments, and chemical compatibility depends on the process. Material selection must consider temperature, atmosphere, exposure time, and possible reactions with processed materials.

Q

What documents can be provided for material approval?

Available technical information and inspection documentation depend on the product grade and order requirements. Please specify whether you need a datasheet, dimensional inspection information, material properties, or other agreed quality documents.

Q

Do you supply individual components or complete furnace hot zone solutions?

SHJ CARBON supplies individual materials and custom components. Requirements involving complete hot zone refurbishment or broader system changes should be reviewed separately to define the appropriate engineering scope. For engineering service options, see Hot Zone Optimization and Performance Upgrades
