Composite materials are changing the face of manufacturing and product development, and no industry has seen this more than aerospace.

Boeing started construction on a new 367,000-square-foot facility in St. Louis that will build parts for the newest member of its 777 commercial airplanes family, the 777X.

Carbon/carbon composites (C/C) are the ideal solution for today’s fast-moving heat-treatment industries. Among the vast array of benefits, C/C provides the perfect answer for businesses looking for a material with high mechanical strength, great thermal conductivity, prolonged life, energy savings and overall reduction in running costs.

In 1983, a company was founded for one reason and one reason only: to provide longer-life and higher heat flux radiant tubes to the heat-treating industry using a patented silicon/silicon-carbide composite material.
