Solid Pyrolytic Graphite Raw Material & Machined Components

ACT manufactures ultra pure (impurities less than 5ppm) Pyrolytic graphite using a high temperature Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) process. The material is grown onto a substrate giving it a layered composition. This also means it has different properties in different planes. In the C plane (across its layers) it has low thermal conductivity, acting as an insulator. In the A-B plane (with the layers) it has very high thermal conductivity, acting as a superb conductor.

Properties

• High Purity
• High Density
• High Strength
• High Hardness

Applications

• Heat Sinks
• Rocket Nozzles
• Heating Elements
• Sputtering Targets
• Ion Implantation Components
• Electron Beam Melting Crucibles
• Pyrolytic Graphite CVD Coatings

ACT can provide Pyrolytic graphite as a raw material in plates, free standing shapes or as an impermeable coating on graphite or other substrates. It can also be machined to your specifications in one of our state-of-the-art machining facilities.
