Self-lubricating graphite-plugged bronze plates

Self-lubricating graphite-plugged bronze plates manufactured to the customer's drawing and dimensions.

Itametais manufactures bronze plates with graphite plugs through casting and machining. The plugs are applied after machining, providing the plate's self-lubricating function in the industrial application.

Bronze plates with graphite plugs

Graphite-plugged bronze plates are manufactured to the customer's drawing, dimensions and application information.

Graphite plugs are applied to the plate according to the project specification. In operation, graphite acts as a solid lubricant at the contact interface and provides the self-lubricating function.

Casting, machining and plug application

The process includes bronze casting and machining of the surfaces and interfaces defined in the drawing. Engineering integrates these stages to prepare the part for its industrial application.

After machining, the graphite plugs are applied to the plate. This sequence aligns plug application with the machined geometry and the specification received.

Custom plates for industrial applications

Graphite-plugged bronze plates can be used in different equipment and industrial sectors. Each request is reviewed using the drawing, dimensions and operating information supplied by the customer.

Made-to-measure production connects engineering, casting and machining with the self-lubricating requirement defined for the part.
