Graphite Machining

Ground Parts

Graphel has over 50 grinding machines on site to support graphite-grinding ranging from simple configurations (seal slots, and blanks) to complex forms.

Over the past 35+ years, Graphel has excelled in meeting the demands of the aircraft industry through the development of expertise in form grinding electrodes. This skill allows us to produce high quality, complex forms at a cost far less than our competitors wire EDM or milling processes.

The cost per burn achieved by use of a "redressable" form electrode and a nest holder in the EDM machines blows away the cost of an electrode wire EDM cut or milled on a solid base. Call, and we'll be happy to explain the benefits and cost savings of this change in approach to your power generation EDM tooling design.
