What is Natural Graphite? This is naturally formed graphite.
Natural graphite is a valuable industrial mineral. It has many uses in nearly every aspect of manufacturing including electronics, atomic energie, hot metal process, friction, coatings and powder metallurgy.
What is graphite, exactly?
Graphite is a crystalline form the element carbon. It is composed of graphene layers stacked together. Graphite is a naturally occurring carbon and the most stable under standard conditions.
Natural and synthetic graphite are used extensively in pencils and lubricants. It turns to diamonds at high temperatures and pressure. It is a poor conductor for heat and electricity.
What types of graphite are there?
Natural graphite can be found in a variety of deposits.
Small flake graphite flakes (or flake graphite), are flat, flat, plate-like particles of crystalline graphite with hexagonal edges, if not fractured. Edges can become irregular or angular if damaged.
Amorphous graphite. This is a very fine flake graphite that’s sometimes called amorphous.
Lumpy graphite or veined Graphite is found in fissures and cracks as lumpy plate symbionts. These symbionts are fibrous or needle-like crystal aggregates. They are probably hydrothermal.
Highly ordered pyrolytic Graphite refers graphite whose angle distribution between graphite sheet is less than 1deg
The term “graphite fiber” is sometimes used to refer to carbon fiber or carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers.
What can natural graphite be used for?
Natural graphite, which has a melting temperature of up to 3650, is a refractory mineral and a good conductor and heat conductor. Graphite can be used for batteries, lubricants or refractories.
Anode for an electric vehicle
Graphite, the fundamental element of the production process for lithium-ion batteries, is at the moment the only one. The demand for high-quality battery-grade graphite for the anode is rapidly growing and will continue to grow exponentially through 2022. These batteries are mostly used in electric cars and consumer electronics.
Graphite is a valuable raw material for light materials such as carbon fibre and reinforced plastics that are used in cars or aircraft parts.
Lubricants & Grease
Graphite has been used as a dry, solid lubricant for many years. It can be used for example as a lubricant in forging tools, steel and titanium, stainless steel, superalloy stamping pieces, die forging, hot extraction, impact extrusion, etc.
Graphite exhibits excellent lubrication and demolding properties. It has excellent tool wetability and concealment power. The very pure graphite combined with extremely refined oil results in reduced engraving and residuals.
Refractory metals for steel, the crucible etc.
The conductivity of graphite exceeds 100 times that of non-metallic mineral minerals. Graphite is used to protect ingots and lining metallurgical furnaces during steel production.
Graphite is also used as an alloy component in aluminum production.
Graphite is available in two forms: thin sheets and expanded graphite. This allows for the creation of metal-graphite compounds. Graphite can be used in a variety of ways depending on its direction and amount. It can be used for thermal management, passive damping elements in factories and mechanical engineering, and as a bearing material to make slow-rotating plain bearings. You can tailor the properties of materials such as thermal conductivity, strength, thermal expansion coefficient and damping coefficient to your intended use by combining them. The goal of powder metallurgy is to reduce carbide content. It can produce as much as 90% of the volume graphite without pores. Even high graphite levels can be mechanically finished.
Brake plates
Brake pads are made of graphite. Graphite is used in brake pads.
Pencil
Pencils are made from graphite over a long history. Since the 19th Century, pencil leads were fired from a mixture graphite-clay. The pencils are hardened and colored by clay, and then glazed with graphite to give them a black-colored and soft texture.
Natural graphite prices
Price is affected by many factors, including supply and demand in a market, industry trends and economic activity.
