High Temp./ Abrasion Resistant Material
High Temp./ Abrasion Resistant Material
(OP)
Hello All,
I am currently developing a fixture that will be used in both Torch brazing and sandblasting operations.
The fixture will need to withstand temperatures in the range of 1800 degrees F. Also, it is going to be used in a following sandblast operation for flux and braze material removal.
Does anyone have a suggested material in mind?
Thanks for the consideration!

Tungsten carbide grippers could be used to hold the part. Woven fiberglass cloth could be used to protect the fixture from heat but would erode in the blasting operation. Consumables would be the fiberglass cloth, the rubber sheeting and the exposed clamping fingers.
I agree with PSE active cooling would be a good option for temperature reduction in the fixture.

The joint was designed to be sealed with a "boot" of pliable material to allow movement but still be impervious to the heat. The product dust which accumulates on the outside of the boot is exposed to the weather (moisture) and eventually burns the seal away. Two materials have been tried, the original material was EPDM followed by natural gum. I am looking for a replacement material for the boot.
