Graphite Rods
Graphite rods are used in the fiber optics and semiconductor industries to produce a wide variety of machine components, including dies, spindles and chucks. These manufacturing parts are a form of machined graphite.
Machined graphite, which composes graphite rods, is usually the result of a copper and pure graphite composite, creating a material that is both structurally sound and reliable. Copper graphite is expensive, but it has improved conductivity and strength compared to pure graphite. Other metallic graphite mixtures may be used but may prove less effective.
Machined graphite can refer to one of three different processes of graphite machining, including extruded, compression molded and isostatically pressed. These processes each create unique grades of graphite that are particularly suited for certain parts and components. Extruded and isostatically pressed graphite, distributed in either round or rectangular blocks, are used mainly in manufacturing parts like rods.
