[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1728045, member: 93138"] From engineering resources on the net a CF/epoxy composite transfers heat ~2.25 times faster than does carbon steel and ~3 times faster than 416 SST. At least the example CF/epoxy composite that I found did. However, the heat has to 'jump' from the barrel steel to the CF tube and that can be significant insulation depending on the exact construction. If there is an air gap between the CF/epoxy and the barrel it will be a pretty effective thermal insulator. [/QUOTE]
