ELEC2RODES Bonded Graphite for EDM Electrodes
The Elec2rode is a new bonded graphite product designed to reduce graphite electrode costs for EDM users of medium- or high-density graphite materials (POCO EDM3, EDM-C3, or equivalents). The technology minimizes material use, eliminates milling of blanks for work holding, and can dramatically reduce overall graphite costs.
Ohio Carbon Blank bonds a less costly grade of graphite used for the electrode holding area (the “backer”) with a higher density material that contacts the work piece (the “electrode”) during the EDM process. The resulting Elec2rode allows not only economical material combinations, but also eliminates the need to mill the electrode in house before use. Our high-strength bond is achieved using a high-temperature adhesive process. This technology is especially cost effective for those using copper-impregnated graphite materials.
Elec2rodes can be used with existing graphite holders or a new economical line of graphite holding products.
