CFC Furnace Fixtures

Semicorex CFC Furnace Fixtures are advanced structural components that perform exceptionally under high temperature, and are manufactured from CFC (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Carbon) composites. Semicorex CFC Furnace Fixtures will provide superior performance in the most extreme thermal processing environments for producing semiconductors, heat treating, sintering, and any other application requiring stability, durability, and thermal efficiency. In addition, due to their lightweight properties, combined with the increased mechanical strength gained by using carbon fiber reinforcement, CFC Furnace Fixtures are a dependable and long lasting solution for all high temperature industrial operations.

As can be seen in the photo of the product, a precise lattice grid configuration was engineered to optimize the structural properties of the fixture while allowing for optimal airflow and heat distribution within the furnace chamber. The open grid allows for a uniform temperature field in the furnace chamber and for efficient gas circulation during thermal processes, which in turn provides for consistent processing results and improved product quality.

Lightweight with High Load Carrying Capability

An outstanding benefit of CFC Furnace Fixtures is their strength-to-weight ratio, which is unmatched. Using carbon fiber provides increased structural strength and at the same time maintaining a low overall material density.

This lightweight design offers several operational benefits. Reduced mass inside the furnace allows faster heating and cooling cycles, improving energy efficiency and reducing process time. At the same time, the reinforced structure enables the fixtures to support heavy loads without bending or distortion.

For industrial furnaces that operate continuously under high loads, this combination of strength and low weight contributes to improved productivity and longer equipment lifespan.

Excellent Thermal Shock Resistance

In many high-temperature processing applications, there are rapid heating and cooling cycles which can create significant thermal stress on much of the equipment in the furnace. CFC fixtures offer excellent thermal shock resistance due to the flexibility of the carbon fiber reinforcement.

CFC fixtures will absorb thermal stresses without fracture allowing for greater dimensional stability and long-term reliability in aggressive processing environments. This reduced fixture failure risk, and lower maintenance costs.

CFC fixtures are customizable to meet the specific needs of varying furnace systems and processing technologies. Examples of customizable aspects of CFC fixtures include grid spacing, thickness, structural configuration, and overall dimensions, so that many types of components or loads can be securely held in place.

Common types of CFC fixture configurations include trays, carriers, racks, and structural supports for use in industries such as semiconductor manufacturing, powder metallurgy, advanced ceramics, and aerospace materials processing.
