Schunk Carbon Technology develops and manufactures components from an extremely broad portfolio of materials. These include
-
carbon,
-
graphite,
-
carbon fiber reinforced carbon and plastic (CFC and CFRP),
-
silicon carbide,
-
aluminum oxide and
-
quartz
Worldwide the materials experts at Schunk have operations at 38 locations. Schunk Carbon Technology is a division of the Schunk Group, an international technology group with more than 8,100 employees in 29 countries and consolidated annual sales of over one billion euros.
Everywhere where two media come into contact with each other ¨C whether its solid-solid, solid-liquid or even solid-gas ¨C friction and/or abrasion automatically become an issue. It is for exactly this reason that Schunk Carbon Technology develops customer-specific solutions. Our competence is based on comprehensive knowledge of both graphite and silicon carbide. Thus, we cover the entire spectrum of standard carbon applications, up to and including high-end diamond coatings ¨C i.e. from hard to soft.
Development partner for LCC Optimization
Whether its wear, pH values, temperature, thermal shock or sliding speed, for all specification parameter, Schunk stands ready to serve you as an experienced development partner. This makes it possible to take advantage of the entire technological bandwidth of carbon materials or silicon-carbide ceramics for development projects as well as to optimize the manufacturing and life-cycle costs of the components.
Without fail our solution provided added value in the form of
-
longer product lives,
-
wider operating temperature ranges,
-
better resistance to aggressive media and
-
increased reliability.
It is not unusual that components which had previously had to be made of differing materials for different applications are successfully replaced by a product variation made of a single Schunk material which covers a much larger scope of application ¨C while also providing an economically-sensible margin of safety. Furthermore, creating optimized components through joint-development work can expand technical limits and lead to new applications.
