Graphite Electrodes Sales - Graphite blocks and rounds, fine grain extruded, molded and isotropic products have four grain sizes. Ideal for machining and fabrication. www.geselectrodes.com

Graphite blocks are available in various sizes and grades. Graphite blocks are available up to and larger than 40" X 20" X 4". Graphite blocks are extruded or iso-molded. Grain size effects performance and is manufacturing process controlled.

Graphite blocks and rounds are used within the following products and applications:

  • Batteries

  • Electric Motor Brushes

  • Alternator / Generator brushes

  • Burner/Oxygen usage

  • Metallurgy

  • Semiconductor Manufacturing

  • Aerospace

  • Chemical

  • Energy

  • Nuclear

  • Glass
