Graphite Shapes and Sizes: Discs, Rods, and Custom Components

Graphite is one of the most versatile materials used in modern manufacturing. Its ability to withstand high temperatures, resist chemical corrosion, and conduct both heat and electricity makes it ideal for countless applications. At Weaver Industries, we specialize in custom graphite machining, producing a wide range of graphite components in various shapes and sizes — from precision-cut discs and rods to entirely custom geometries built to your specifications.

Graphite Discs

Among the most commonly machined graphite products are graphite discs. These components are valued for their flat, uniform structure and ability to perform under demanding thermal and electrical conditions. Graphite discs are often used in heat treatment furnaces, electrical contacts, and sealing applications, where temperature resistance and stability are critical.

Because graphite is lightweight yet strong, it can be produced in a variety of diameters and thicknesses without sacrificing dimensional accuracy. Weaver Industries can manufacture graphite discs in both standard and custom sizes, ensuring the right fit for each client’s unique setup. Whether you require a small run of precision discs or large-format pieces for industrial use, our graphite machining services deliver exceptional consistency and performance.

Graphite Rods

Graphite rods are another essential shape used across multiple industries. These cylindrical components are found in electrodes, foundry tools, glass manufacturing equipment, and even in laboratory environments. The combination of high electrical conductivity and superior heat resistance makes graphite rods ideal for applications involving extreme temperatures or continuous wear.

At Weaver Industries, our machining capabilities allow us to produce graphite rods in an extensive range of diameters and lengths, all held to tight tolerances. Each rod can be machined to exact specifications for diameter, surface finish, and density. This precision ensures optimal performance and a long service life — whether the rods are used for melting, machining, or conducting current in demanding environments.

Additional Graphite Components and Custom Machining

Beyond discs and rods, graphite can be machined into virtually any shape required. Weaver Industries regularly produces graphite blocks, plates, rings, bearings, tubes, and specialty parts designed for specific industrial needs. Thanks to graphite’s excellent machinability, complex geometries can be achieved without compromising the integrity of the material.

Our team uses advanced CNC equipment and decades of machining expertise to deliver custom graphite components that meet the strictest dimensional and quality standards. We can accommodate both small prototype runs and large-scale production, ensuring that every piece performs as expected under the conditions it was designed for. If your project requires an unconventional graphite shape or a part that integrates into an existing assembly, our engineers can assist in developing a custom machining solution.

Precision Graphite Machining for Industry

Weaver Industries serves a wide range of industries that depend on precision graphite components — including aerospace, electronics, metallurgy, and manufacturing. Each of these sectors relies on graphite’s unique combination of properties: high strength-to-weight ratio, resistance to thermal shock, and ability to maintain structural integrity under extreme heat.

Our graphite machining services are tailored to meet the specific needs of each industry and application. We maintain tight control over dimensions, density, and surface finish to ensure that each part functions reliably. From small graphite electrodes to large furnace fixtures, we take pride in delivering components that meet or exceed client expectations.
