Mersen isostatic graphite that sublimates at 3,400 °C without melting, resists thermal shock and keeps its mechanical strength at high temperature: EDM, continuous casting, semiconductor, solar, glass and aerospace.
Isostatic and Extruded Graphite
Through the rigorous selection of raw materials, decades of experience in graphite production and outstanding production facilities, Mersen graphite is recognized as a top-performing material with consistent quality. Mersen is one of the leading manufacturers of isotropic graphite.
Applications: electrical discharge machining (EDM) electrodes, hot glass handling hardware, continuous casting, polysilicon and silicon wafer manufacturing, semiconductor process equipment, sintering, heat treatment, mechanical components for pumps and valves, carbon rings for dynamic sealing, aerospace mechanical components, purification and coatings.
- High temperature — does not melt; passes directly from solid to gas from 3,400 °C
- Unrivalled thermal shock resistance
- Mechanical strength unaltered at high temperatures
- Low coefficient of thermal expansion — geometric stability at high temperatures
