carburo_silicio.jpg

 (SiC) is a synthetic mineral commonly produced in electric furnaces by 

combining petroleum coke and silica sand or quartz at high temperatures

This results in a product with different sic contents and grain sizes ready to be used in the 

metallurgical, refractory and abrasive sectors

Silicon carbide

We market our range of very high quality refuels recognized throughout the world under the name 

Refuels are carbonaceous products, mainly used as additives to correct and regulate the carbon content in gray cast iron, ductile cast iron or liquid steel.

There are various types which differ in chemical analysis, with particular attention to the content of carbon, sulphur, nitrogen and ash, or in the shape and size of the grains.

The raw material, which can be either petroleum coke, a carbonaceous by-product of the petroleum refining process or anthracite, a naturally occurring coal, is "cooked" in a calcination furnace at average temperatures of 1400 °C or in a graphitization oven at higher temperatures, between 2400° and 3000° degrees.

This results in a calcined or graphitized product with 

various applications in the steel, aluminum, brake or lubricants or chemical sectors

Grafitex

The main characteristics of graphite are its resistance to high temperatures, very high thermal conductivity and very low electrical resistance.

Thanks to their ability to withstand very high temperatures, graphite electrodes can conduct enormous amounts of electricity to melt steel scrap.

Graphite electrodes are therefore used in electric arc furnaces for the production of steel, ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

For over 40 years we have been supplying graphite electrodes of different qualities, grades and diameters to the main Italian and European steel groups.
