I'm looking for a carbon fibre material upon which to sit materials to be furnaced; what is the maximum working temperature of the carbon fibre sheet or fabric materials?


The process currently operates between 900 and 1000 C for several hours, will any of the materials be able to withstand these conditions?

Under what conditions? Oxidising atmosphere? I doubt you can use the carbon for long at 1000°C. The bigger problem is the resin/binder anyway.

Why not use a ceramic, or simple graphite? Metals should work, too. Unless you look at exotic materials like reinforced carbon-carbon these are the only options that make sense.

That's graphite with embedded carbon fibers. Expensive, that material might cost more than the oven. Just use the normal stuff I mentioned above.
