SIZE As your detailed requirements.

Applications: 

Graphite blocks are normally used in the flowing field:
*Casting molds for railroad wheels.   
*Heat exchangers for chemical industries.   
*Electrodes and linings in some industrial furnaces (such as graphitization furnace).   
*Cathodes in aluminum electrolysis cells.   

Features: 

Our graphite blocks have the flowing advantages:
*High thermal and chemical resistance.   
*Good thermal conductivity.   
*Low coefficient of thermal expansion.   
*Minimal wettability to molten metals.
