Graphite Ingot Molds for Precious Metal Casting
Precious metal molds, including graphite ingot molds, are in high demand lately. Gold and silver are traded in international markets as bars or ingots, and the process of precious metal casting requires a mold in which to pour the molten metal. Graphite ingot molds are the preferred choice for most gold and silver refiners in the USA. Semco is proud to be one of the leading suppliers of these precious metal molds.
Why Graphite is Great for Precious Metal Molds
Graphite ingot molds are made from high-density graphite, which has excellent thermal stability and can withstand high temperatures. Graphite is also an excellent conductor of heat, which makes it ideal for use in precious metal casting. When molten metal is poured into the mold, the heat is rapidly conducted away, causing the metal to solidify quickly and evenly. This ensures that the resulting ingot has a consistent shape and quality, crucial qualities when you are dealing with gold or other precious metals.
At Semco, we machine thousands of graphite ingot molds every year, in various sizes. Demand is so high at the moment that we have to prioritize jobs. Our machinists are running graphite ingot molds virtually all the time.

Gold, and Graphite Ingot Molds, are Up
The demand for graphite ingot molds is closely tied to the price of gold. When gold prices are high, as they are currently, there is increased demand for ingots, which in turn leads to increased demand for precious metal molds. However, the availability of raw graphite materials can also impact demand, as there are limited sources of high-quality graphite that can be used for graphite ingot molds.
In general, gold is seen as a hedge against inflation and market volatility. When the stock market is weak or when there are concerns about inflation, investors often turn to gold as a safe haven. This trend is evident today, as the current inflation woes and the general weakness in the stock market have led to an increase in demand for gold and other precious metals.
