CFC Fastening Elements
Max Graphite supplies a complete range of CFC fastening elements — screws, nuts, threaded rods, bolts, pins, discs, and angle brackets — for use in high-temperature furnace systems, thermal process fixtures, and structural assemblies across sintering, hardening, heat treatment, and CVD applications. Every component is precision-machined from qualified CFC grades to ensure dimensional accuracy and consistent mechanical performance at process temperature. As a single-source CFC component supplier, Max Graphite supports both standard fastener geometries and fully engineered custom configurations.
The Connection Points Your High-Temperature Assembly Relies On
CFC fastening elements are specified wherever structural assemblies must maintain mechanical integrity through repeated high-temperature cycles — in sintering fixtures, hardening carriers, CVD process racks, and hot press tooling. The demand for dimensional stability, low mass, and thermal compatibility with surrounding CFC or graphite structures makes material and machining quality critical at every connection point: a fastener that fails or distorts under load compromises the entire assembly. Max Graphite manufactures the full geometry range required for these environments, from positive-lock pin and bolt configurations to precision-threaded screw-and-nut pairings and threaded rod assemblies, with in-house machining capability to meet tight tolerances across both standard and bespoke designs.
- Complete geometry range. Screws, nuts, threaded rods, bolts, pins, discs, and angle brackets — all available in CFC, from a single supplier, to a single specification.
- Fibre architecture matched to load direction. Component orientation and lay-up selection are aligned to the mechanical demands of the connection, ensuring thread integrity and shear resistance under process conditions.
- Consistent grade quality. CFC feedstock is sourced from qualified suppliers and machined under controlled conditions, delivering batch-to-batch repeatability in mechanically demanding applications.
- Standard stock and custom manufacture. Max Graphite holds common fastener geometries for rapid despatch and machines bespoke designs to customer drawing — supporting both maintenance replacement and new fixture builds.
- Engineering support at the specification stage. Our technical team works directly with fixture designers and procurement engineers during design, reducing iteration cycles and accelerating qualification.
