Every vacuum furnace hot zone requires periodic graphite replacement — heating elements wear, radiation shields embrittle, insulation compresses and cracks, fasteners strip. Managing spare parts across multiple furnace OEMs and models is a procurement challenge. Expo Advanced Materials solves it by supplying the complete range of vacuum furnace graphite spare parts from India, cross-referenced to all major furnace OEM part numbers.
Complete Range of Graphite Spares We Supply
- Heating elements — Rod, U, flat-plate, ring, and multi-leg elements. Grades: IG-11, IG-110, TTK-8, HP-grade, CFC. All configurations to your drawing or OEM part number.
- Radiation shields — Flat and cylindrical shields in monolithic graphite (3–10 mm) and CFC (1.5–4 mm). Multi-layer shield sets with spacer hardware.
- Thermal insulation — Graphite felt blankets (flexible, 6–50 mm thick) and rigid CFC boards (20–100 mm). Custom cut shapes and cylinders.
- Hearth plates and work trays — Flat, ribbed, and grid-pattern trays. Circular and rectangular. Up to 1,200 mm dimension.
- Graphite fasteners — Screws M6–M30, nuts, washers, studs, and threaded rods in isostatic graphite. Full-thread and partial-thread configurations.
- Gas nozzles and distribution rings — Quench gas nozzles, distribution manifolds, and shroud rings for convection heating and forced-quench circuits.
- Thermocouples and instrumentation supports — Graphite thermowell tubes, protection sheaths, and sensor support brackets.
- Power feedthrough components — Bus-bar electrode adapters, current-feed rods, and graphite-to-metal transition sleeves.
