Division [1C107] Graphite and ceramic materials, other than those specified in 1C007, as follows:F1

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

  1. a..

    Fine grain graphites with a bulk density of 1,72 g/cm3 or greater, measured at 288 K (15 °C), and having a grain size of 100 μm or less, usable for rocket nozzles and re-entry vehicle nose tips, which can be machined to any of the following products:

    1. 1..

      Cylinders having a diameter of 120 mm or greater and a length of 50 mm or greater;

    2. 2..

      Tubes having an inner diameter of 65 mm or greater and a wall thickness of 25 mm or greater and a length of 50 mm or greater; or

    3. 3..

      Blocks having a size of 120 mm × 120 mm × 50 mm or greater;

    NB:

    See also 0C004.

  2. b..

    Pyrolytic or fibrous reinforced graphites, usable for rocket nozzles and reentry vehicle nose tips usable in "missiles", space launch vehicles specified in 9A004 or sounding rockets specified in 9A104;

    NB:

    See also 0C004.

  3. c..

    Ceramic composite materials (dielectric constant less than 6 at any frequency from 100 MHz to 100 GHz) for use in radomes usable in "missiles", space launch vehicles specified in 9A004 or sounding rockets specified in 9A104;

  4. d..

    Bulk machinable silicon-carbide reinforced unfired ceramic, usable for nose tips usable in "missiles", space launch vehicles specified in 9A004 or sounding rockets specified in 9A104;

  5. e..

    Reinforced silicon-carbide ceramic composites, usable for nose tips, reentry vehicles and nozzle flaps usable in "missiles", space launch vehicles specified in 9A004 or sounding rockets specified in 9A104;

  6. f..

    Bulk machinable ceramic composite materials consisting of an ‘Ultra High Temperature Ceramic (UHTC)’ matrix with a melting point equal to or greater than 3 000 °C and reinforced with fibres or filaments, usable for missile components (such as nose-tips, re-entry vehicles, leading edges, jet vanes, control surfaces or rocket motor throat inserts) in "missiles", space launch vehicles specified in 9A004, sounding rockets specified in 9A104 or ‘missiles’.

    Note:

    1C107.f. does not control ‘Ultra High Temperature Ceramic (UHTC) ’ materials in non-composite form.

    Technical Note 1:

    In 1C107.f. ‘missile’ means complete rocket systems and unmanned aerial vehicle systems capable of a range exceeding 300 km.

    Technical Note 2:

    ‘Ultra High Temperature Ceramics (UHTC)’ includes:

    1. 1..

      Titanium diboride (TiB2);

    2. 2..

      Zirconium diboride (ZrB2);

    3. 3..

      Niobium diboride (NbB2);

    4. 4..

      Hafnium diboride (HfB2);

    5. 5..

      Tantalum diboride (TaB2);

    6. 6..

      Titanium carbide (TiC);

    7. 7..

      Zirconium carbide (ZrC);

    8. 8..

      Niobium carbide (NbC);

    9. 9..

      Hafnium carbide (HfC);

    10. 10..

      Tantalum carbide (TaC).
