Graphite Components for the Steel Industry
Steel production runs through continuous casting and furnace-adjacent equipment that never stops running hot. Graphite components here need to survive thermal cycling without becoming the reason for a line stoppage.
Continuous casting & steel furnace components
Where graphite is used in steel production
Continuous casting dies and die inserts, furnace trays and heat shields, and charging fixtures are the primary graphite touch-points in a steel production line — each is also documented under our Continuous Casting and Furnace & Heat Treatment application areas.
| Application | Recommended Grade | Key Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Continuous casting dies | OCHD-E3 / OCHD-E1 (Isostatic) | High purity, smooth surface finish |
| Furnace heating & trays | OGB-A / OGR-A (Vibrated/Extruded) | Good conductivity, thermal shock resistance |
