C-CAT is the leading producer of Carbon-Carbon flight grade structures. Carbon-carbon or C/C is a composite material comprised of carbon fiber reinforcement in a matrix of graphite. C/C has gained a space-worthy reputation due to its high temperature resistance withstanding temperatures from 3,200 to 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit (1760 â 2204°C). The material becomes stronger as it gets hotter. Components constructed from C/C will hold their shape and remain sound under serious duress.The firm's facility has oxidation protected carbon-carbon component manufacturing capabilities, including composite curing equipment, pyrolysis and densification equipment, a machine shop for tooling and components, coating furnaces, and a variety of ovens and test furnaces, and quality control inspection equipment.C-CAT continues to make complex large scale assemblies for hypersonic aerospace vehicles based on decades of Carbon-Carbon (C-C) fabrication experienc
