GES-AGM offers a set of four isostatically molded grades with a very fine grain size, increasing strength and density, and excellent machinability. Our isostatically molded graphite products offer a range of grades with densities from 1.65 to 1.93 g/cc. This graphite is commonly used in sintering trays, crucibles, electronic encapsulating fixturing, EDM, continuous casting dies, and heating elements. With exceptionally fine grain structure our iso-molded graphite stands out with superior close tolerance machinability, density and overall strength.

Oxidation can be an issue on some graphite products during manufacturing processes. To mitigate this damage, GES-AGM offers a proprietary LoOx™ treatment to ensure extended durability and performance on many of our products. This solution is offered in our U.S. and Brazilian facilities, and more information about this effective treatment is available through our sales team.
