ELECTROPLATING

We produce customer-designed graphite components for the electroplating industry.

Semco Carbon has created graphite anodes and cathodes to customer-specified configurations for decades. If you have a special process or need to discuss the suitability of graphite materials to your electroplating needs, we can help.

Synthetic graphite's natural resistance to acidic and basic solutions can be enhanced through the use of specific impregnations. Call us for a specific grade and additive recommendations.  

HEAT TREATMENT

Custom Graphite Furnace Fixtures and Resistance Heaters for Ultra-high Temperature Hot Zones.

To manufacture quality resistance heating elements and furnace fixtures, you need the correct graphite grades, the right manufacturing equipment, the skill set of competent personnel, and the knowledge to put them all together. 

We have everything in our production facility to produce the parts you need and verify the correct resistance. You want your graphite hot zone to be reliable, and we can help you maintain that condition with our expertly manufactured furnace fixtures and resistance heaters.
