CVI (Chemical Vapor Infiltration) furnaces are special solutions used in the CVI process, which is a technique for producing carbon materials, such as graphite, by saturating them with carbon from the gas phase. They are designed to enable controlled deposition of carbon layers on porous materials.
CVI equipment consists of a reactor or reaction chamber in which chemical and temperature parameters are controlled to deposit layers of carbon on a substrate.
CVI is a process in which carbon material (usually in the form of a porous structure) is saturated or impregnated with carbon materials in the gas phase. The CVI process uses carbonaceous gases such as methane or acetylene, which react in the reactor to form carbon deposits on the substrate surface.
CVI technology is used in the production of carbon brake discs for high-performance, sports, electric and luxury cars. In the case of the brake disc production, the process enables the creation of a structure with exceptional strength and low weight, which is crucial for effective braking. By precisely managing this process, brake discs produced using CVI have excellent high temperature resistance, minimal wear, and excellent friction properties, ensuring safe and efficient vehicle braking.
