Schunk Group Graphite Electrodes
Our graphite electrodes offer numerous advantages over traditional materials. They provide higher material removal rates, significantly reducing machining time.
With low thermal expansion, they ensure excellent dimensional stability and contour accuracy of the workpieces. Wear during EDM is greatly reduced, which extends the electrodes' lifespan. Additionally, graphite allows for the creation of the finest details and surface qualities that are challenging to achieve with other methods.
Specialized Materials for Optimal Results
We use high-quality isostatic graphite materials that we customize to meet our clients' specific requirements. These materials are characterized by high resistance to thermal shocks, low density, and a low coefficient of thermal expansion.
Our extensive experience in material development enables us to provide the optimal graphite quality for each application, ensuring the best results.
Applications of Graphite Electrodes in EDM Technology
Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), also known as spark erosion, is a thermal removal process for machining electrically conductive materials. It enables the production of complex shapes and intricate structures that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional milling processes.
Our graphite electrodes are ideally suited for use in EDM machines and are used in the production of molds, injection molds, stamping tools, and in the manufacturing of precision components across various industries.
