Graphite Slide Plate

Advantages of Graphite Slide Plates

Graphite slide plates are usually presented in regular plate-like shapes, and some can also be customized into special shapes according to requirements. According to the specific requirements of particular equipment or processes, you can customize slide plates of special sizes, shapes or performances. Such as dedicated sliding parts in irregular-shaped mechanical structures to meet personalized usage requirements.

The following are its advantages:

Excellent self-lubricating performance

It can achieve low-friction sliding without the need for additional lubricants which effectively reduces energy consumption.

Extremely low coefficient of friction

It can significantly reduce the wear between components and extend the service life of the equipment.

Excellent high-temperature resistance

It can operate stably in high temperatures so it meets the usage requirements under high-temperature working conditions.

Stable chemical properties

It has good resistance to most corrosive media, and is not prone to chemical reactions.

Relatively high mechanical strength

It can withstand certain pressure and impact force, maintaining structural integrity during the sliding process.

Excellent thermal conductivity

It can quickly dissipate heat and prevent local overheating caused by frictional heat generation, avoiding the impact on equipment operation.

Uses of Graphite Slide Plates

Metallurgical industry

Continuous casting process:

You can use it as a flow-controlling component, which precisely controls the flow rate of molten steel. It ensures the quality of the continuous casting billet and production efficiency and has a long service life.

Non-ferrous metal smelting:

You can use it to control the flow rate and direction of the molten metal such as copper and aluminum. It can ensure the stability and accuracy of the casting process and improve the forming quality of the products.

The field of mechanical manufacturing

Sliding bearings and guide rails:

Its low friction characteristics enables mechanical parts to operate smoothly and efficiently, reduces friction losses. And it also enhances the operational accuracy and reliability of equipment. You can widely use it in machine tools, automated production lines, and other equipment.

Conveying equipment:

It can reduce the friction between the conveyor belt and the supporting components, lower the wear of the conveyor belt. And enhance the stability and service life of the conveying system.

Electronics and semiconductor industry

Chip manufacturing equipment:

You can use graphite plate as sliding components in precision equipment such as photolithography machines and etching machines. Its high purity and low friction performance can ensure the high-precision movement of the equipment. This avoids particle contamination caused by friction and guarantees the yield rate of chip manufacturing.

Heat dissipation of electronic devices:

You can use it as heat dissipation pads for electronic devices because of its excellent thermal conductivity. It can quickly conduct and dissipate the heat generated during the operation of the equipment. Thus it improves the heat dissipation efficiency of electronic devices and ensures the stable operation.

Aerospace field

In aerospace equipment, you can apply it to some mechanical components that require low friction and high reliability. Such as the sliding structure of aircraft landing gear and the deployment mechanism of satellite antennas. It can maintain good performance under extreme environmental conditions and ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
