Graphite for Refractories
High thermal-shock resistance for steel, foundry, and high-temperature linings.
All Applications
Refractories are one of the largest industrial uses of natural flake graphite. Added to carbon-magnesite (MgO-C) bricks, alumina-graphite shapes, and monolithic refractories, graphite improves thermal-shock resistance, reduces slag wetting, and increases service life in demanding high-temperature environments.
Why Graphite
- Excellent thermal conductivity reduces thermal-shock cracking
- Low wettability by molten slag improves corrosion resistance
- Higher flake carbon (FC) supports oxidation performance
- Consistent mesh sizing for repeatable brick formulations
Typical Grades
Medium-to-large flake, higher carbon grades are commonly specified; final grade matched to your formulation.
Specifications are indicative and matched to your requirements. See our grade families.
