Composite plate to withstand 3500 Degree F

01/29/2007 1:10 PM

I'm looking for a composite plate that'll withstand 3500 Degree F for up to 5 minutes.

The plate will be used in the welding shop so it must take compression and shear loads from tools and raw materials.

Any ideas out there?

what about carbon carbon,

or what type of materials do they use in blast/electric arc furnaces at steel foundries? I bet that would work.

Thanks for response.

Is graphite provided with glass fibers inserted as to prevent cracks?

The material I need must withstand pounding of metal tubes with-in a welding fixture.

I fear graphite alone would break down.

Glass will probably turn to liquid at the temperatures indicated.
