Synthetic Graphite
Man-made crystalline carbon engineered through high-temperature processing for superior purity, conductivity, and structural performance.
Cored Wire
Precision Alloying and Melt Control
Cored wire systems are essential in modern metallurgical processes, enabling the controlled introduction of alloying elements, carbon, and treatment agents directly into molten metal. Used in steelmaking and foundry operations, cored wire improves efficiency, recovery rates, and final material properties.
Asbury Advanced Materials supplies engineered carbon materials designed to support consistent wire performance and predictable metallurgical results. Our materials are optimized for purity, particle size, and carbon content, ensuring reliable behavior during high-temperature injection and reaction in the melt.
By supporting both wire manufacturers and end users, Asbury helps improve process control from production through final metal performance.
Solving Real-World Cored Wire Application Problems for Over a Century
Cored wire systems must perform consistently under demanding conditions:
- Variable recovery rates of carbon and alloying additions
- Uncontrolled reactions within molten metal
- Slag formation and inclusion control challenges
- Wire breakage or feeding issues during injection
- Material loss due to inefficient delivery into the melt
- Maintaining consistency across different heats and operating conditions
These challenges require materials that behave predictably and support controlled metallurgical outcomes.
