CFC Fixture Advantages and Challenges in Vacuum Heat Treatment, Part 1
Joerg Demmel • November 14, 2022
This article in Heat Treat Today is about CFC Fixtures as a great opportunity for Heat Treaters. Part 1.
“What happens when a lead engineer sticks his head in new advancements in materials from NASA? For the author of this article, it means the successful research and development of
a new generation of workpiece carriers and fixtures made from “a high-tech ceramic matrix composite of very strong carbon fiber,” that is, CFC.”
