Industrial Graphite

Industrial synthetic graphite is a man-made material that has a wide range of applications in various industries due to its unique combination of physical and chemical properties. It is made by heating high-purity carbon to extremely high temperatures and then exposing it to a gas stream that cools and purifies the material. The result is a material that is highly pure, highly crystalline, and has a low electrical resistance.

One of the most common uses of industrial synthetic graphite is in the production of electrodes for electric arc furnaces. These furnaces are used to produce steel and other metals, and the high conductivity and heat resistance of synthetic graphite make it ideal for use as an electrode. Synthetic graphite is also used as a lubricant in high-temperature and high-pressure applications, such as in the production of semiconductors. Its low coefficient of friction makes it an ideal material for this use, please review BADGERADVANCED Specialty Graphite to learn more.

In addition to these industrial uses, synthetic graphite also has applications in the energy industry. For example, it is used as a component in batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries, due to its high conductivity and ability to withstand high temperatures. It is also used in fuel cells as a catalyst to improve the efficiency of the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. In the nuclear industry, synthetic graphite is used as a moderator in nuclear reactors to slow down neutrons and control the reaction. These are just a few examples of the many uses and applications of industrial synthetic graphite, which continue to grow and evolve as the material is further developed and improved.
