KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Incorporates ceramic and carbon fiber
reinforced composite onto a manufacturer-
provided, Sporting Arms and Ammunition
Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI) compliant steel
barrel blank
• Reduces overall barrel weight
• Increases barrel stiffness
• Improves heat transfer and reduces barrel bore
temperature over multiple rounds
PRODUCT BULLETIN
THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY VS.
THERMAL INERTIA
Thermal conductivity has traditionally been the
primary metric considered for material selection
to manage heat.
Higher
density materials absorb more energy than lower
densities, so materials like steel have higher thermal
conductivity
than less-dense
ceramics.

P L A T E H E A T E X C H A N G E R
• High thermal conductivity
• Very good flow rate for thin walls
• Chemical resistance to glycol
• Good aging for both chemical & temperature resistance
• Improved thermal performance by eliminating the
effects of corrosion
• Reduced overall part weight
• Provided greater design freedom meaning a more
complex part could be designed and molded
• Enabled several heat exchangers to be consolidated
into one, saving space in the vehicle and increasing
efficiency
