Graphite Mold
Graphite mold is a special type of tooling system made from graphite material. With East Carbon graphite mold, you can easily reshape and mold parts according to your design requirements.
Whether you want to mold plastic or metal parts, you can use tooling made from graphite. Currently, graphite molds are the perfect choice when molding non-ferrous metals. Even for both continuous and non-continuous casting, graphite offers a perfect tooling system.
Furthermore, these graphite molds are a perfect choice for mold pressure casting, hot pressing, graphite molding, etc.

Applications of Graphite Mold
Graphite is one of the most popular materials in the parts molding today. At East Carbon, we have designed our mold to suit dynamic needs in many industries such as:
Metal Molding
Whether you want to process cast steel, titanium, molybdenum, iron, or any non-ferrous metals, graphite molds offer the perfect material fabrication process.
Graphite Molds for Glass
With graphite as your primary tooling material, you can fabricate many glass parts or any unique glass designs.
Plastic Molding
With graphite molds, you can make different plastic parts and components. Graphite can withstand the high molding temperature for plastic materials.
There are many reasons why you should consider graphite for a tooling system.
Resistance to High Temperature
Molding is associated with high temperature. Remember, molten metal or plastic has a higher temperature. Therefore, you need a mold that can withstand the high molding temperature. This makes graphite a perfect material for your mold design.
Good Thermal Conductivity
Poor temperature distribution may cause filling problems or even warpages. With graphite’s superior thermal conductivity, it reduces the possibility of uneven cooling. Usually, this can compromise the quality of the final product.
Ease of Molding and Fabrication
Most graphite molds are made through the machining process. As long as you have the part designs you want to fabricate, you can machine graphite to make the best mold design.
Therefore, this is only achievable when you choose a material that is easy to machine. This makes graphite a perfect material for mold design and fabrication.
You can precisely machine graphite to make the best mold design. East Carbon graphite molds are known for their durability.
Chemical Inertness
Whichever metal alloy you wish to fabricate, graphite is the best material for your mold design. It does not react with most metal alloys.
Resistance to Thermal Shock
Whether you pour moderately to extremely hot metal in your mold, graphite mold will neither crack nor break. The material can withstand thermal shock.
Although machining has been a popular technique to fabricate graphite molds, casting is also gaining popularity. For instance, graphite mold casting is becoming a perfect alternative when designing these tooling systems.
In both cases, you can still get high-quality molds for your molding processes.
Graphite mold is a durable and reliable tooling system. You can use graphite for more than 100 hours continuous. The tooling will not exhibit any weakness or compromise the quality of your final product.
Furthermore, after using graphite mold for a long time, you can easily re-machine the tooling system for other molding processes. But remember, the quality of parts and reliability of your graphite tooling system will depend on the graphite material grade.
