Optimizing Machine Speeds for Carbon and Graphite Components

If you're accustomed to machining metals, your first instinct with carbon and graphite might be to run your machine at similar speeds. That's a mistake that leads to chipped edges, poor surface finish, and, as you’ll find out to your frustration, short tool life. Graphite is not metal, as we elaborate on below. Machining these different materials requires quite different approaches to dust control, to managing excessive heat, and to achieving desired surface finishes. At Semco Carbon, we've learned that a different approach to speed optimization is especially important when it comes to machining graphite. We explore why this is...

Precision Graphite Machining: Best Practices and Common Challenges

Graphite Machining Takes Knowledge and ExperienceWhen it comes to precision machining of graphite, the difference between a quality component and scrap often comes down to understanding the material's unique characteristics. Graphite isn’t like metal or wood. It provides a great many benefits due to its superior thermal conductivity at high temperatures and heat spreading properties making it ideal for electronic components on circuit boards like heat sinks, while it's cost effectiveness also make it a great option for semiconductor manufacturing or any other processes that require high temperatures and the highest standards. With the current and forecasted boom in renewable...

Innovations in Graphite Machining Techniques: What's Coming in 2026?

Over the past two decades, the tech world has conditioned us to expect lightning-fast high speed innovation. Now, every few months brings new AI capabilities, faster processors, and software that can do things we couldn't imagine a year ago. It's easy to assume that every industry moves at this pace. But that's not how innovation works in manufacturing, and it's certainly not how it works in graphite machining. Not that graphite machining doesn’t involve cutting-edge technology. It does. We, of course, incorporate automated systems and CAD/CAM machining into our workflows. But at Semco, we keep before us a picture of...
