UHTCMC type Alfa

Manufactured through an advanced sintering process, these materials achieve the highest possible structural density, ensuring unrivaled resistance to erosion and ablation. This is the mandatory choice for the most critical components such as rocket nozzle inserts and parts subjected to extreme thermal and mechanical stress.

Material Comparison

UHTCMCs are a unique and patented family of products that offers: increased heat
resistance, enhanced durability, and improved erosion/ablation resistance.
