AXF-5QC Graphite

Impregnating our AXF-5Q graphite with copper greatly increases the material's compressive strength and reduces its electrical resistivity and friction coefficient at operating temperatures below 300°C. 

  • Average particle size of less than 5 microns provides high strength and resistance to damage
  • Copper impregnation increases product lifetime reduces replacement needs
  • Fine surface finish creates parts with precision details
  • Low friction coefficient is ideal for sliding friction or high-load applications at relatively low temperatures
  • We can enhance this material with our post-processing options

Our graphite grades are available as semi-finished rods, blocks, plates, and fully machined parts.
