Asbury’s portfolio of natural and synthetic graphite, along with advanced carbon materials, supports a wide range of applications across ceramics, powder metallurgy, refractory systems, and friction products.
Key Properties of Industrial Carbon & Graphite Materials
Carbon and graphite materials are widely used in industrial applications due to their ability to perform in demanding environments:
- High thermal stability
- Excellent lubricity
- Chemical inertness
- Thermal conductivity
- Wear resistance
- Controlled particle size and purity
These properties enable consistent performance across high-temperature and high-wear industrial processes.
Applications
Where Advanced Materials are Used in Industrial Applications
Ceramics
Graphite and carbon materials are used in ceramic processing to improve thermal management, reduce sticking, and support consistent forming and firing operations. These materials help enhance mold release, improve surface quality, and maintain stability during high-temperature kiln and sintering processes.
Powder Metallurgy
Metallurgy applications include non-ferrous systems such as brass and bronze. Graphite is used as a lubricant and processing aid in compaction and sintering, improving part density, reducing die wear, and supporting consistent part quality. Applications include metal injection molding, sintering tray coatings, and custom powder blends. Asbury offers a wide range of particle sizes, including micronized powders and advanced graphite nanoplatelets, tailored to specific powder metal requirements.
Refractory
Carbon and graphite materials are used in refractory systems to improve thermal stability, reduce oxidation, and enhance resistance to molten metal and high-temperature environments. These materials support longer refractory life, improved insulation performance, and reliable operation in furnaces, kilns, and high-temperature processing systems.
Friction Products
Graphite is widely used in friction materials to help control friction behavior, reduce wear, and improve thermal stability. These materials support consistent friction performance across temperature ranges while contributing to longer component life in applications such as brake systems and industrial friction components.
