Types of Materials
Carbeon
Carbeon combines the properties of carbon fiber and silicon carbide which results in a damage tolerant and high performance C/C-SiC composite. Carbeon can be highly tailored based on project specific requirements by optimising manufacturing and design parameters.
Currently, 3 Carbeon variations are offered: Carbeon-UHT, Carbeon-HPS and Carbeon-LWR.
Material Advantages:
- High temperature stable in non-oxidising environment
- Damage tolerant and enhanced fatigue life
- Ablation resistant
- 4x lighter than Superalloys
Process Advantages:
- 3x-5x faster than competitors
- Scalable for size and quantity
- No fiber coating & No exotic raw materials
- Cost-efficient at scale
Carbeon-UHTUltra-High Temperature Stable
Carbeon-UHT focuses on thermally stable components. Along with ultra-high temperature resistance,Carbeon-UHT also offers tailored thermal conductivity based on the system requirements. Carbeon-UHT components enhance the system by pushing the thermal boundaries and achieving the optimum efficiency. Carbeon is 3 times lighter than superalloys and can withstand temperatures higher than superalloys (non-oxidising environment). Thus, making it an attractive prospect in ultra-high temperature domain.

- Lightweight structures due to a density of 1.9 g/cm3 allows ease of handling, transfer of hot components and reduces overall weight of the system
Carbeon-HPSHigh Precision Structures
Carbeon-HPS is specifically tailored for high precision systems where co-efficient of thermal expansion of a component can highly influence the output of a system. Carbeon-HPS combines fiber architecture and design expertise to obtain near zero co-efficient of thermal expansion along with significant weight reduction.

Advantages
- Near zero coefficient of thermal expansion for highly accurate mechanism
- Lightweight structures due to low material density (1.9 g/cm3 ) and thin walled geometries (t ≥ 0.15mm) for fast moving components
- Environmentally stable. No swelling or detectable outgassing in vacuum allows the use of our composite near optics
Carbeon-LWRLong-term Wear Resistant
Carbeon-LWR transforms its ultra-high temperature resistance capability into long-term wear and abrasion resistant components. An extremely low specific wear paired with tailored co-efficient of friction for braking and sliding elements enhances the tribology competence of a system. The added benefit of low density provides ease of control for fast moving or accelerated components.
