【Graphite Products and Their Applications】—The Role of Carbon Products in Economic Development

The carbon industry, compared to large sectors such as machinery, automobiles, electronics, mining, metallurgy, railways, and transportation, is a small industry. However, it occupies an important position in national economic development and plays a significant role. For example, in China's first five-year plan, 156 large projects were established, of which two were carbon-related. Additionally, the development of the steel industry is inseparable from carbon materials and products, especially in electric furnaces for alloy steel smelting, which require graphite electrodes. In aluminum electrolysis production, 400-450 kg of carbon anodes are consumed for every ton of aluminum produced.

Apart from ordinary civilian industries, carbon materials also have wide applications in fields such as aerospace, nuclear energy, and defense. For instance, carbon fiber composites have high specific strength and light weight, making them suitable for aircraft, spacecraft, and satellite hulls and structural materials. Isotropic graphite materials are used in missile nose cones and throat linings, as well as in neutron moderators, reflectors, and protection layers in nuclear reactors.

In daily life, carbon materials are also widely used, such as in physiological carbon for heart valves, and in sports goods like tennis and badminton rackets. In developed countries like Japan and South Korea, high-end hotels use carbon graphite materials for their tableware, referred to as "green tableware." It can be said that carbon products have entered various sectors of industry, national defense, military, and daily life.

With the development of industrialization and the growing emphasis on environmental protection, the concept of a low-carbon economy has been proposed, highlighting the importance of carbon in the economy.
