Aerospace Graphite, Felt & C-C Composites
Aerospace systems operate at extremes — temperatures exceeding 2 000 °C (3 632 °F) in processing environments, rapid thermal cycling during service, and sustained mechanical loads at altitude. Carbon-based materials are among the few that maintain structural integrity under these conditions, which is why graphite and carbon-carbon composites have been integral to aerospace design and manufacturing for decades.
From aircraft brake systems to the high-temperature furnaces used to process aerospace superalloys, isostatic graphite, carbon felt, and C-C composites serve in both flight-critical hardware and the manufacturing infrastructure behind it. These materials combine low density, thermal stability, and dimensional consistency — properties that solve problems where metals and ceramics reach their limits.
Max Graphite supplies standard and custom graphite, carbon felt, and C-C composite components for aerospace OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and MRO operations. We machine to drawing and deliver to the tolerances this industry requires.
Applications
- Aircraft brake discs — C-C composite discs offering high friction stability and low weight for commercial landing gear systems
- Hot-pressing and sintering tooling — isostatic graphite dies, punches, and fixtures for processing aerospace superalloys and titanium
- Furnace insulation — rigid and soft carbon felt panels for vacuum and inert-atmosphere heat treatment of aerospace alloys and composites
- Heating elements and susceptors — graphite components used in CVD, CVI, and diffusion bonding processes for aerospace part production
- Seals, bearings, and vane components — isostatic graphite parts for turbine auxiliary systems, fuel pumps, and pneumatic actuators
- Thermal management structures — C-C composite panels and graphite elements used in high-temperature zones of engine test rigs and thermal processing equipment
- High-temperature gaskets — graphite foil sealing materials for flange joints and exhaust assemblies in airframe and engine systems
