Graphite and High Heat Applications

Graphite and High Heat Applications

While we may be entering the coldest season of the year, it is always hot in places where many graphite applications live and work. Whether you are in need of sintering material, graphite heating elements, or other high temperature graphite applications, Semco Carbon has the technical knowledge and the machining capabilities to help solve your graphite machining project. High heat applications are sort of our calling card at Semco (no surprises there; graphite is a notoriously heat-tolerant material). Below are some of the product lines we can custom machine for you: Sintering Material Sintering trays are durable base components used...

Graphite Materials and Thermal Processing

Graphite Materials and Thermal Processing

Fall evenings and apple cider, baseball and hot dogs, graphite materials and thermal processing -- these things just go together. Thermal processing and vacuum heat treating shops commonly use fixtures made of graphite materials on which to set parts to be treated. These graphite fixtures have excellent thermal stability, allowing them to be used again and again through multiple heat treat cycles (think of the durability of a graphite heating element). In addition to that stability, graphite materials offer significant cost advantages when compared to other materials used to make fixtures to be used in thermal processing, like high nickel/chromium...

Thinking of Machining Graphite In House?

Thinking of Machining Graphite In House?

So you have a machine shop and you need a synthetic graphite component? If you’re thinking of machining graphite yourself, our advice would be to give Semco a shot at doing it for you. Machining graphite doesn’t necessarily require a graphite mill, or decades of experience working with synthetic graphite, but these things don’t hurt. We have built Semco on highly specialized knowledge about machining graphite, and we will share some of that knowledge with you here. If you still want to do the graphite machining yourself, you’ll be better equipped to do so. You may also become aware of...
