Ceramic Matrix Composite Materials for Ultra-High-Temperature Applications

Arceon, a Dutch engineering company, offers ceramic matrix composite materials, combining ceramics and composites. These have unique properties: low density, high temperature resistance, low CTE and high strength. It is applied in among others rocket nozzles, precision telescope tubes and thermal protection systems. It can often replace heavy, metal, alternatives, increasing performance and decreasing weight. Arceon is open to costumers, as well as collaborative and research projects.

• Low density (1.9-2.1 g/cm3).
• High temperature resistance (stable up to at least 1600 °C).
• Low thermal expansion (-1 – 2.5 10-6 K-1) and high strength (flexural strength up to 300 MPa).
• High-temperature stability and scratch resistance.
• Density is 25% lighter than aluminum.
