Densified prior to graphitization, Grade CS is an extruded graphite 25-30% higher in strength than CBY. Grade CS is a low ash graphite with an oxidation resistance similar to grade CBY. It is the material of choice for applications requiring higher densities, better mechanical strength, or less porosity than grade CBY. Grade CS is the most popular multi-purpose grade. In sizes less than 3” dia CS particle size is reduced to improve characteristics. Typical Applications: - Casting molds and furnace parts for hot metal
- Powder metallurgy
- Boats and trays for sintering applications
- Resistance heating
- Crucibles for melting and alloying
- Furnace components
- Refractory Systems applications such as blast furnace and submerged arc furnace linings
