Last week I had the opportunity to sit with the Engineering Department at Graphel Carbon Products to discuss their most recent projects. During our 60-minute discussion, one thing that came to mind was that information, design, and communication could help save time and money. The Six-person department conveyed critical details on design work Engineers should consider when putting an EDM electrode project together. Here are the highlights of our conversation.

However, Graphel Carbon Products also offers a wide range of engineering services that can help customers solve complex challenges and improve their manufacturing processes.
One of the key engineering services offered by Graphel Carbon Products is design and engineering support. Their experienced engineers can work closely with customers to develop customized solutions that meet their specific requirements. From initial concept design to final product delivery, Graphel Carbon Products’ engineering team can support the entire product development process.
“When a customer contacts us, we listen and gather information to understand what the customer wants fully,” says Bill Heyser, a 30-year employee, and Engineering & I.T. Manager. “After we assess the problem, we usually ask questions and request additional information to help service the customer. This would include prints or CAD files and requires more detailed information about the application. Once the team has everything to work on a solution, we will proceed with a team Engineering review. If it is a new design, we will create some concepts or put together some mockups to help the customer understand the solution we are putting together. Once approved, the Engineers can begin the quoting process. “
Have you heard of Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM)? It’s a fascinating process that uses electrical energy to remove material from a workpiece.
EDM is widely used in the manufacturing industry for creating highly precise parts and components that would be difficult or impossible to create with traditional machining methods.

EDM, or Electrical Discharge Machining, is a precision machining process used to create intricate and complex shapes in hard materials such as metals. The process involves using electrical discharges, or sparks, to erode the material and shape it into the desired form. EDM oil, also known as dielectric oil, is a crucial component of the process, as it plays a vital role in ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the machining process.
In a recent video on their popular Youtube channel, the crew at “Titans of CNC Machining” used Graphel EDM electrodes to machine a cam groove pocket on a part.
