What is graphite powder?
Graphite powder is a mineral powder, mainly composed of carbon particles; its surface is soft and black-gray; its melting point is very high, the melting point of graphite is 3850 ± 50℃, and the boiling point is 4250℃; even after the ultra-high temperature arc burning, the weight loss is very small, the thermal expansion coefficient is very small. The strength of graphite increases with the temperature. At 2000℃, the strength of graphite is doubled, which is one of the most temperature-resistant minerals. At room temperature, the chemical properties of graphite powder are relatively stable and can resist acid, alkali, and organic solvent corrosion resistance; the material has high-temperature conductivity, and the conductivity of graphite is 100 times higher than the general non-metallic ore. Thermal conductivity exceeds steel, iron, lead, and other metal materials. The thermal conductivity decreases with the increase of temperature, even at extremely high temperatures, graphite into an adiabatic body. Graphite powder has high plasticity, good toughness, and can be connected into very thin sheets; strong seismic resistance; ink can withstand drastic changes in temperature without damage; when changing temperature, the volume of graphite will not produce cracks.
 
Main uses of graphite powder
In industry: graphite has good chemical stability. After special processing, graphite has the advantages of corrosion resistance, good thermal conductivity, and low permeability, so it is used in the production of many pieces of equipment, such as reaction tanks, condensers, combustion towers, absorbers, coolers, heaters, filter and a large number of equipment. In addition, it is widely used in the petrochemical industry, hydrometallurgy, acid and alkali production, synthetic fiber, paper making, and other industrial sectors, so it greatly saves metal materials. Regarding scale prevention, graphite can prevent boiler scaling, such as relevant scientific tests showing that adding a certain amount of graphite powder in water (about 4~5 grams per ton of water) can prevent scaling on the surface of the boiler. In addition, graphite coated on metal chimneys, roofs, Bridges, and pipes can also prevent corrosion and rust.

Graphite powder can be made of special materials for the relevant industrial sector, such as pencil leads, pigments, and polishing agents. In addition, graphite is a good energy-saving and environmental-friendly material, which some western countries have used as car batteries. With the development of modern science, technology, and industry, the application field of graphite is still expanding. It has become an important raw material of new composite materials in the high-tech field and plays an important role in developing the national economy. National defense security: used in the atomic energy industry and the national defense industry because graphite has a good neutron reducer; it can be used in an atomic reactor; uranium-graphite reactor is an atomic reactor used more to help national defense security.
