Graphite Blocks and Rounds Application Overview

 

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

Typical properties of Commercial Graphite Block and Rounds:
