What is molded graphite?
Molded graphite materials include amorphous carbon, graphite, and carbon graphite—a composite consisting of hard carbon and graphite. These materials range from fine to ultrafine granulation and often exhibit significant anisotropy due to their axial forming process. A diverse array of properties such as mechanical strength, friction, and conductivity arise from the variety of materials used.
Distinct from other synthetic graphite formation techniques, die-molding technology uniquely supports the pressed to size (PTS) method. This efficient near-net shaping process is highly beneficial as it allows to produce complex components in large quantities, economically and with minimal material waste.
