The layers are soft, and move easily. Each layer is flat. The properties of graphite include its light weight, about 2.26 g\/cm\u00b3. You can reach out and touch it and it\u2019s slippery. That&#8217;s how it&#8217;s used to move electricity through it. Graphite is used in batteries and pencils as well.<\/p>\n<p>Not only does it also melt only at super-hot 3550\u00b0C but it is also very strong. It is this special thing that makes it good inside machines. Graphite is different to diamond but quite useful. Carbon can also be in a difference shades of carbon; they both are but it works differently.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chemical_Properties_of_Graphite\"><\/span><strong><b>Chemical Properties of Graphite!<\/b><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%B7_High_Inertness\"><\/span><b>\u00b7\u00a0<\/b><strong><b>High Inertness<\/b><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Graphite\">Graphite<\/a>\u00a0is not easy changing. Most chemicals don\u2019t change. The electrons sitting in the carbon atoms in graphite are very strong. Graphite is safe because they are arranged in layers. it does not corrode in acid or base. On the other hand, you can use graphite in factories and it works at 3600\u00b0C!<\/p>\n<p>This is why it\u2019s good in big machines. It works for very high temperatures you can trust it. In nuclear reactors, too, graphite is strong. You will find that it lasts longer than just about any other material. This is how <strong><b>Jinsun Carbon<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0makes graphite electrodes that can still work in factories under high heat, for a long time.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%B7_Oxidation_Resistance\"><\/span><b>\u00b7\u00a0<\/b><strong><b>Oxidation Resistance<\/b><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Graphite is tough. It will not break when hot. Below 600\u00b0C it does not react with oxygen. Meaning that it\u2019s safe for factories. It is used in kilns (if you were using it creating <a href=\"https:\/\/jinsuncarbon.com\/kk\/graphite-electrode-uses\/\">electrodes<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Properties of graphite include its strength when things get hot. That&#8217;s because graphite protects itself from breaking down and lasting longer. In metal factories where heat is very high, you want to use it. Everything stays safe and strong. Jinsun Carbon provides graphite electrodes for metal factories that endure extreme heat, safely.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%B7_Acid_Resistance\"><\/span><b>\u00b7\u00a0<\/b><strong><b>Acid Resistance<\/b><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Graphite is safe in acid. It doesn\u2019t react when you put in a strong acid, like sulfuric acid. It is found in batteries or at chemical factories. This material is good works in hard places.<\/p>\n<p>Graphite lasts because the atoms are so strongly bonded. Properties of graphite mean it does not change, even in acid. It maintains the machines in running condition. In many of the industries where you can break other materials except to a strong acid, you use it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%B7_Alkali_Resistance\"><\/span><b>\u00b7\u00a0<\/b><strong><b>Alkali Resistance<\/b><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In alkali, graphite remains strong. It does not react to strong chemicals, like sodium hydroxide. It is hard to break down. You need things to last in your factory.<\/p>\n<p>Graphite resists the chemicals that could damage other things. Graphite is safe because the carbon atoms keep it so. It has high resistance to alkali; it can be used where other materials won\u2019t last long. It works when things go wrong, yet it still works when they go right.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%B7_Thermal_Stability\"><\/span><b>\u00b7\u00a0<\/b><strong><b>Thermal Stability<\/b><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Graphite is stable in heat. It can take temperatures as high as 3600\u00b0C. It will not melt. But the carbon layers remain strong and safe. It can be used in very hot machines like heat shields and rocket parts.<\/p>\n<p>Heat also in graphite goes well. That\u2019s why it\u2019s in electronics. It keeps machines cool. Its thermal stability is one of the best properties of graphite. It\u2019s in many high-heat places so things work better. These extreme conditions?

It is that which can break with a force of 20\u201325 MPa. When you pull on graphite, its snaps because it can\u2019t stand that much force. When stretched, its carbon layers slip. Over 500 MPa tensile strength, things are stronger: steel, for example.<\/p>\n<p>When you think about the properties of graphite, remember it cannot handle stretching well. It breaks easily if pulled too hard. Tensile strength means how much strain can be put on something before it breaks.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%B7_High_Compressive_Strength\"><\/span><b>\u00b7\u00a0<\/b><strong><b>High Compressive Strength<\/b><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you push on graphite, it gets very strong. This thing can put up to 150 MPa of pressure over you. It stays strong if you press it down. Even under lots of force, Graphite\u2019s layers are tough to squash. It&#8217;s strong because the hexagonal atoms help keep it strong when it&#8217;s squeezed.<\/p>\n<p>When you think about the properties of graphite, you see that it\u2019s good at handling pressure. Both its strength and its compressive strength make it a good candidate for use in seals that must stay tight.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%B7_Anisotropic_Behavior\"><\/span><b>\u00b7\u00a0<\/b><strong><b>Anisotropic Behavior<\/b><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The way you push it makes a difference for graphite. It tears apart easily in one direction. It\u2019s strong against squeezing in another. This is anisotropic according to engineers.<\/p>\n<p>Pulling them apart makes the carbon layers slide apart, but resist pressure. These properties of graphite make it special for things like <a href=\"https:\/\/jinsuncarbon.com\/kk\/graphite-electrode-machining\/\">electrodes<\/a>. It even conducts electricity better one way than the other.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%B7_Elastic_Modulus\"><\/span><b>\u00b7\u00a0<\/b><strong><b>Elastic Modulus<\/b><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Graphite bends under pressure, just not too much.

Graphite gives a little when you push on it, but it springs back.<\/p>\n<p>As an example, steel is much stiffer with 200 GPa. It is softer, given it is, but nevertheless had good strength.

As soon as a crack starts, it spreads.<\/p>\n<p>Graphite doesn\u2019t take cracks well, so engineers have to treat it carefully. It\u2019s good under pressure, but it breaks if pulled or hit too hard.

That\u2019s why it conducts power.<\/p>\n<p>That makes it useful, because other types of carbon don&#8217;t work as well. Properties of graphite make it different from diamonds. Graphite can be used in electrical moving fast things.

Each layer displays a strong bond of 1.42 \u00c5 between carbon atoms. Properties of graphite make it soft and good for many uses. It helps it construct electricity better.

But you see, some types of graphite can actually reach 1,700 W\/m\u00b7K.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s really fast! These properties are used by parts such as heat sinks to cool.
