MRF specializes in the engineering, manufacture, and servicing of precision high-temperature vacuum/ controlled-atmosphere furnaces for demanding production and R&D applications. Our systems are deployed in a wide range of advanced thermal processes. These include densification/sintering, graphitization, pyrolysis/binder removal, hot pressing, CVD, and vacuum brazing. We provide a comprehensive portfolio of furnace systems utilized in the fabrication or development of composites (C-C & CMC's), advanced ceramic materials (B4C, Si3N4, AlN & SiC) and refractory metals (Ta, Nb, W, Re, Mo, Ti & alloys). For unique process and test requirements, we develop custom solutions with our clients. MRF's engineering team created a continuous 150T hot-press system, North America's largest capacity composite (C-C & CMC) pyrolysis systems, three dimensional (3D) hot-press system, and other highly productive thermal systems.
