We know this from much experience: anyone buying graphite components right now is operating in a market that feels oversupplied but at the same time structurally fragile. Prices have been steady. However, steady prices haven't translated into a feeling of confidence that procurement will be easy going forward. So what is the graphite price forecast? Will graphite prices rise in 2026? How predictable is the graphite supply chain? And if it is unpredictable, how does that affect the graphite recycling supply chain? These are great questions without clear answers. The reasons behind this complex market situation tell you a lot...

Graphite’s Role in the 2026 EV Battery Boom

With all the news right now about the fossil fuel bottleneck in the Persian Gulf and its effects on energy prices, you could be forgiven for wondering what happened to the clean energy revolution. The electric vehicle market isn't slowing down, and neither is the infrastructure being built to support it. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS, in industry shorthand) have moved from niche installations to a central feature of the clean energy world. Utilities, fleet operators, and grid managers are all deploying BESS at scale, storing energy from renewable sources and releasing it when it is needed. Behind the scenes...

Optimizing Machine Speeds for Carbon and Graphite Components

Unique Properties Present Unique Challenges for Graphite ComponentsIf you're accustomed to machining metals, your first instinct with carbon and graphite might be to run your machine at similar speeds as you would for these other industrial or precious metals. 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 with their unique physical properties requires quite different approaches to dust control, to managing excessive heat, and to achieving desired surface finishes. At Semco Carbon, we've...
