Applications of Trex CVC Silicon Carbide

Trex's CVC SiC™ products, fabricated utilizing its patented CVC technology, are rapidly gaining acceptance in a number of high value added applications within the DoD and industry.

Semiconductor wafer processing equipment, especially etch where the material has demonstrated superior etch resistance
Mirrors and optics (up to 1.5 meter)
Nuclear fuel rod cladding
Components for high temperature (up to 3600°F) applications/environments. Trex CVC SiC™ outperforms other silicon carbides by more than 1000°F.
Ballistic applications

Trex Advanced Materials: The Result

CVD SiC™ scale bar = 15 mmTrex CVC SiC™ scale bar = 15 mm

Trex Proprietary CVC SiC™ is Free of Intrinsic Stress Resulting In:

Uniform microstructure with uniform thermal performance across all axes
Faster growth rate (about 5x CVD)
High yields (nearly 100%)
Ability to deposit complex shapes and structures
Large size and thick parts
