Semicorex CFC thermal insulation cylinders are high-performing thermal insulation components engineered especially for single crystal growth thermal fields. They are precisely crafted from carbon fiber reinforced carbon (CFC) materials using carbon-carbon composite weaving technology and chemical vapor infiltration processes, offering the optimal thermal insulation performance in the ultra-high-temperature environments.
CFC composites are the upgraded material of thermal insulation technology, featuring multiple excellent properties like being lightweight, having a low coefficient of thermal expansion, having high-temperature resistance, having strong corrosion resistance, and having a stable coefficient of friction and electrical conductivity. By using this material, Semicorex CFC thermal insulation cylinders boast stable and constant thermal insulation performance and can overcome the industry pain points of poor thermal insulation efficiency, excessive wear, and short service life. They are widely applied in the thermal fields for single-crystal growth that require precise temperature control.
Semicorex CFC thermal insulation cylinders have excellent thermal stability and can stably operate in high-temperature furnaces. Even when they are exposed in environments up to 2000°C, they can deliver the long-term stable operation of thermal field systems with deformation and damage caused by the high temperature. Their distinctive structure is able to optimize the thermal conductivity of these cylinders, effectively preventing heat dissipation from the thermal field and maintaining a stable thermal environment for single crystal growth.
During the application of single crystal growth, the corrosive media like silicon vapor and high-temperature gases may cause corrosion to the components within high-temperature furnaces. Semicorex CFC thermal insulation cylinders are highly resistant to corrosion by silicon vapor and high-temperature gases, and can provide stable insulation performance over a long service life even in high-temperature gas and silicon vapor environments.
The overall weight of Semicorex CFC thermal insulation cylinders is significantly lower than that of conventional refractory materials due to their low material density. This lightweight structural design does not compromise the mechanical strength of the cylinders. Instead, it reduces the weight of the equipment that facilitates daily handling and installation, markedly cutting down on labor costs associated with equipment maintenance and replacement.
Semicorex CFC thermal insulation cylinders can contribute to creating a stable temperature gradient inside the thermal field, providing an optimal high-temperature environment for improving crystal growth efficiency and quality. To ensure the constant performance of these CFC thermal insulation cylinders, the following requirements must be followed for the daily maintenance and care.
1. During operation, it is crucial to control the heating and cooling rates of the high-temperature furnace to prevent thermal stress damage to CFC thermal insulation cylinders caused by rapid temperature fluctuations.
2. After each use of CFC thermal insulation cylinders, wipe the surface dust and stains with a dry, soft cloth, instead of using a wet cloth or corrosive cleaning agents.
3. Conduct regular comprehensive inspections of the CFC thermal insulation cylinders, and then perform timely resolution and repair of any problems found during inspections are very necessary.
