Russcarb - Carbon Thermal Insulation from MacGregor & Moir

Russcarb Insulation

Russcarb is a refractory insulation product capable of withstandingtemperatures of up 3000ºC.

Russcarb is based on high purity rayon fibres which have been carbonised mixed with proprietary resins and vacuum formed into boards. The boards then go through a process polymerisation and drying. They are then carbonised followed by a final heat treatment to between 2000ºC and 2700ºC depending the process application.

Applications:

• Vacuum heat treatment.
• Vacuum brazing.
• Hard metal sintering.
• Vacuum and controlled atmosphere sintering.

Typical Users:

• PM alloys and powder production under controlled atmospheres.
• Engineering and automotive.
• Aerospace heat treatment organizations.

Russcarb board has excellent machining properties. Tight process control ensures a homogeneous board with excellent thermal properties resulting in improved hot zone temperature uniformity and hence furnace control. Thermal properties may be further enhanced by the application of a graphite foil coating.
