【Graphite Products】Applications

Graphite products have a wide range of applications. Here are the main use cases of graphite products summarized in points:

1. Batteries and Energy Storage Devices

• Lithium-ion Battery Anode Material: Graphite products are an essential component of lithium-ion battery anodes. High-purity graphite materials and special surface coating treatments improve the energy density and cycle life of batteries.

• Home Energy Storage Systems and Large-scale Energy Storage Projects: Graphite products are also used as anode materials in these energy storage devices.

2. Photovoltaic Power Generation

• Solar Panel Manufacturing: Coating a layer of graphite film on the surface of solar panels enhances light absorption and charge transfer efficiency, thereby increasing the conversion efficiency of the solar panels.

3. Casting Field

• Flame Retardants: Graphite has excellent flame retardancy and is used as a flame retardant in polymer materials such as polyester fibers and polyethylene.

• Refractory and Insulation Materials: Graphite is resistant to oxidation and corrosion, making it suitable as a protective layer or lining for casting equipment and castings.

• Friction and Brake Materials: Graphite’s low and stable friction coefficient makes it ideal for use in brushes, brake pads, and other casting equipment.

• Mold Frame and Template Materials: Graphite mold frames and templates have good heat resistance and high dimensional stability, suitable for casting automotive radiators and other castings.

• Graphite Molds for Die Casting: Artificial graphite materials are used to make die-casting molds for zinc and copper alloy castings, which are applied in automobile parts.

• High-temperature Alloy Casting and Aluminum Alloy Casting: Graphite molds are suitable for producing high-temperature alloy castings and aluminum alloy castings, such as gas turbine components and automobile wheels.

4. Electronic Equipment

• Conductive Materials: Graphite has low resistivity, making it an excellent conductive material used in brushes, electrodes, and resistors.

• Thermal Conductive Materials: Graphite has a high thermal conductivity and is used in heat sinks, thermal pastes, and thermal interface materials.

5. Industrial Field

• Graphite Electrodes: Widely used in electric furnace smelting, casting, and steelmaking industries.

• Graphite Heat Exchangers: Used in chemical, petroleum, and power industries, with features like corrosion resistance, high-temperature stability, and high heat transfer efficiency.

• Graphite Seals: Used for sealing in chemical, petroleum, and power industries, offering excellent corrosion resistance and sealing performance.

6. Other Applications

• Graphite Impregnation Materials: Used in chemical, metallurgical, and mechanical fields, characterized by high temperature, high strength, and corrosion resistance.

• Atomic Energy Industry and National Defense Industry: Graphite is used as a neutron moderator in nuclear reactors, meeting the requirements of high melting point, stability, and corrosion resistance.

• These application scenarios fully demonstrate the diversity of graphite products and their important roles in different fields. With technological advancements and expanded applications, the use cases for graphite products will continue to grow.
