    Conductive Graphite Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Graphite. Conductive Graphite Rods.
    A low surface resistivity makes this graphite a good electrical conductor. Since this graphite won't adhere to metal, it can be used to fabricate furnace parts, crucibles, and ingot molds.

    This graphite is denser and slightly stronger than standard conductive graphite because it has a smaller grain. A low surface resistivity makes this graphite a good electrical conductor. Since this graphite won't adhere to metal, it can be used to fabricate furnace parts, crucibles, and ingot molds.
