Carbon Sheets are essential bulk materials widely used in high-temperature, vacuum, and precision engineering applications. Manufactured from high-purity graphite or engineered carbon materials, carbon sheets offer excellent thermal stability, chemical inertness, and structural reliability, making them suitable for demanding industrial environments.
With a sublimation temperature above 3,600 °C (for graphite) and a typical density range of 1.8–2.2 g/cc, carbon sheets exhibit outstanding resistance to extreme heat and thermal shock. Their stable crystal structure and anisotropic properties enable precise machining and predictable performance under vacuum, inert gas, or reactive atmospheres.
Carbon sheets are widely used in applications including:
Semiconductor processing equipment and fixtures
Vacuum systems and ultra-high-vacuum environments
Thermal management and heat-spreading components
PVD / CVD tooling, liners, and support plates
Carbon buffer layers and diffusion barrier components
Wear-resistant and chemically stable structural parts
In advanced manufacturing, high-purity carbon sheets are valued for their low impurity content, excellent electrical conductivity, and compatibility with high-temperature and vacuum processes. They are commonly used as susceptors, heater elements, shields, and precision-machined components in semiconductor, optics, and energy-related systems.
Overall, carbon sheets are indispensable materials for next-generation high-temperature and vacuum technologies, enabling reliable structural performance, thermal stability, and dimensional consistency across industries such as semiconductors, electronics, aerospace, energy storage, metallurgy, and precision manufacturing.
