Graphite Heating Systems 

Graphite – High-Temperature Heating System

Graphite is beneficial in many heating applications because of its superior electrical and thermal conductivity characteristics. Since it’s a crystalline form of the element carbon, it can be heated and exposed to extremely high temperatures, generating remarkable heat transfer properties. Graphite is usually heated in two ways; as a susceptor (to draw more heat where it’s needed), or as a vessel (place the elements you wish to melt inside a graphite vessel). Graphitization is the process of converting carbon to its crystalline allotropic form. The temperature of the process depends upon the precursor and properties desired. Ajax TOCCO Magnethermic designs and manufactures both batch and continuous graphitizing systems for a variety of applications.
