Copper and non-ferrous metals

Graphite and carbon for copper and non-ferrous metals: ESGRAF advises on material selection and application support across Mexico and the Americas.

[ Industry description ]

Graphite components for melting, casting, and lubrication of copper and non-ferrous alloys.

In copper and non-ferrous metals, graphite is used in melting, casting, extrusion, and hot lubrication. Grade choice affects service life, metal purity, and process continuity.

ESGRAF supports material selection and machining of critical components for non-ferrous metal plants.
