1. Graphite products as conductive materials: used in the electrical industry to manufacture electrodes, brushes, carbon rods, carbon tubes, positive electrodes of mercury rectifiers, graphite gaskets, telephone parts, coatings for television tubes, etc.
2. Graphite products as refractory materials: Graphite and graphite products have the properties of high temperature resistance and high strength, and are mainly used in the metallurgical industry to manufacture graphite crucibles. Graphite is commonly used as a protective agent for steel ingots and as an inner lining for metallurgical furnaces in steelmaking.
3. Graphite products are used as casting, sanding, molding, and high-temperature metallurgical materials: Due to the small thermal expansion coefficient of graphite and its ability to withstand rapid cooling and heating changes, it can be used as a mold for glassware. After using graphite, black metal castings are obtained with precise dimensions, smooth surfaces, and high yield of finished products, which can be used without processing or slight processing, thus saving a lot of metal.
4. Graphite products as wear-resistant lubricating materials: Graphite is often used as a lubricant in the mechanical industry. Lubricating oil often cannot be used under high-speed, high temperature, and high pressure conditions, while graphite wear-resistant materials can operate at high sliding speeds at temperatures of 200-2000 ℃ without the need for lubricating oil. Many devices that transport corrosive media widely use graphite materials to make piston cups, sealing rings, and bearings, which do not require the addition of lubricating oil during operation.
