What is Graphite Crucible?

Graphite is used in melting, casting and shaping of precious metals such as gold and silver, as well as in many areas due to its resistance to high temperature and thermal shocks.

The process of solidifying the melted metal in the chamber in a certain cross-section with the help of a mould by cooling the area where solidification begins is called continuous casting process.

Due to its softness, it is used in pencil making and lubrication of moving metal parts, and due to its resistance to fire and acids, it is used in casting and refractory industry, crucible and laboratory materials.

Graphite, which has a crystalline structure just like diamond due to the carbon in its structure, is still a very soft material that cannot be compared to diamond in terms of hardness.

Especially preferred in the moulding sector, the process of shaping the workpiece by arc method by applying electric current to the conductive material is called plunge erosion method.
