Metal Impregnated Carbon Graphite

Carbon-Graphite and graphite materials become porous after processing. Therefore, it is typical to impregnate them with resin or metals to enhance strength, thermal conductivity, reduce resistivity, and minimize porosity. Various metals are used for specific benefits; for instance, antimony enhances friction and wear resistance. Metal impregnation allows the material to withstand higher temperatures and pressures compared to resin impregnation.

Resin Impregnated Carbon Graphite

Resin Impregnated Carbon Graphite is a composite material made by filling porous carbon graphite with a thermosetting resin. This process enhances its mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and impermeability. It is commonly used in applications involving corrosive fluids, such as seals, bearings, and pump components. The resin improves wear resistance and extends service life. It is ideal for use in industries like chemical processing and power generation.
