[ Related graphite applications ]
Impregnated blanks
Graphite-impregnated blanks are suited to industrial processes that require high-strength components with dimensional stability and performance under demanding conditions.
Mortar additive
Improves the mechanical and thermal properties of mortar in refractory construction applications.
Molds for metal sintering
They allow the compaction and formation of metal parts through sintering processes.
Foundry additive
Graphite or high-carbon material is used as an additive in smelting and steelmaking processes to modify molten metal behavior.
Dry lubrication for iron-to-iron contact
Provides a solid lubricating layer to prevent friction between metal surfaces.
Inserts for rotary bushings
They improve the durability and performance of bushings in rotating systems.
Bushings and spacers
They reduce friction and wear on moving components in high-temperature and demanding atmospheres.
Sliding plates
They are used in float glass handling and general casting, allowing stable flow on a non-stick surface.
Lances for degassing and fluxing tubes
Graphite lances and fluxing tubes are used in the foundry industry to inject gases into the bottom of molten material.
Foundry pouring spouts
They direct the flow of molten metal into molds, preventing spills and losses.
General dry lubrication
It acts as a solid lubricant in applications where oils or greases cannot be used.
Plugs
Graphite plugs selected for the geometry and operating conditions of sealing or dry-lubrication applications.
Stirring bars
Graphite stirrer bars, thanks to their resistance to chemical attack and impact, are used in molten metal handling.
Lubrication of rotary kiln tracks
Direct contact or drip lubrication to minimize friction and wear on rotating rails and tracks.
Lubrication of refractory surfaces
Protection of blocks, molds and surfaces subjected to high temperatures with a release and non-stick effect.
