Графитовый порошок

Что такое графитовый порошок?

It is a finer form of graphite, a naturally occurring form of carbon in powdered form. Graphite has a unique structure consisting of stacked layers of carbon atoms held together by strong covalent bonds within each layer and weak van der Waals forces between layers. This structure gives it unique properties such as excellent lubricity, electrical conductivity, and thermal stability.

What is it made of?

Graphite powder is in the form of fine powder and its main component is carbon. Its raw materials are mainly divided into two types: natural and artificial.

Natural graphite mainly comes from raw ore, which is made by mechanical grinding, chemical reduction and other methods.

Artificial graphite is produced by screening and removing impurities. It is an inorganic non-metallic material with higher purity.

Для чего это нужно?

Благодаря высокой температуре плавления и износостойкости он используется в качестве смазки для промышленного оборудования, не требующей частой замены. Он также используется для производства продуктов на основе графита, таких как карандаши и краски. Кроме того, он может быть использован для производства графенматериал с широким спектром применения, например, полупроводники, углеродные волокна, нанотрубки, композитные материалы и т.д.

It is also has another important use, which is as a carburizing agent for steelmaking. When used as a carburizing agent for eaf steelmaking, it is the debris cut off during the processing of artificial графитовые электроды. Because the carbon content of this kind of debris is as high as 99%.

In the process of eaf steelmaking, in order to ensure that the quality of the smelted product meets the standards, the carbon content in the molten steel needs to be adjusted. It plays a role in increasing carbon at this time, and due to the high carbon content (more than 90%), it is not only easily absorbed by the molten steel, but also greatly increases the dissolution speed of the molten steel.

В зависимости от целей использования размер частиц и их чистота также различаются. При использовании в сталеплавильных печах предъявляются более высокие требования к чистоте. В основном предъявляются строгие требования к содержанию S и P. Содержание S должно быть ниже 0,2%, а содержание P - ниже 0,02%.

What are its properties?

It is a non-metallic mineral material.  It has high electrical and thermal conductivity, extremely high melting point; good lubricity, plasticity and chemical stability, and is not corroded by acids, alkalis and organic solvents. Because of these properties, it is widely used in chemical industry, metallurgy, casting, lubrication, sealing and other industrial fields.
