Abstract

A support for structural components that are subjected to a thermal treatment process. The support includes a frame having limbs and extending therefrom a grid of intersecting strands. In order to prevent the support from warping even when subjected to strong thermal loads or variations in temperature, the frame is produced from a temperature-resistant material and the strands are produced from carbon fibers or ceramic fibers that form the grid, extending from the limbs of the frame.
