What is graphite? Graphite Powder has a soft gray color. The powder can leave traces on the paper. It has a hardness of 1 to 2, but can be increased by adding more impurities vertically. It has a specific gravity of 1.9-2.3. Under the condition of oxygen isolation, its melting point is above 3000, one of the most temperature-resistant minerals. At room temperature the chemical properties graphite of graphite can remain stable and insoluble in water, dilute acids, alkali, organic solvents, or in air. It can react at different temperatures with oxygen to create carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, or both. Graphite can also react at high temperature with other metals, forming metal carbide that can be used in high-temperature metal smelting.
Graphite powder can be described as soft, dark, or gray. The melting point of graphite under oxygen isolation is higher than 3000, making it one the highest-temperature resist minerals. Graphite can be dissolved in water, dilute acids and alkali and is therefore stable at room temperature. It reacts with oxygen when it is adequate to make carbon dioxide. If it isn't, it will react with oxygen and produce carbon monoxide.
Principal uses of graphite powder
Refractory graphite is a high-temperature resistant and strong material. They are used in the manufacture of graphite crucibles within the metallurgical industries. Graphite can be used to protect steel ingots, and as a lining for metallurgical furnaces during steelmaking.
Conductive Materials: These materials can be used to create electrodes, brush, carbon rods or carbon tubes.
Lubricant; Graphite is used often in the machine industry as a lubricant. High speed, high temperature and high pressure are not acceptable for lubricating oil. However, graphite is a lubricating medium that can run at 2000 without any lubricating petroleum.
High-temperature metallurgical material: Graphite is reducible, so it can be reduced at high temperatures to many metal oxides and used in smelting, like iron making.
Polishing agent/rust inhibitor: Graphite also serves as a polishing and rust inhibiting agent for paper and glass in the light industrial. It is an essential raw material that can be used to create pencils. Ink, paint, synthetic diamonds, diamonds, and other products.
How to prepare graphite powder
Graphite is the raw material after blasting. After crushing, it is transported to a rock crusher using a minecar to be ground and then floated into a ball mill. After flotation the graphite wet material is sent into a ball mill to be ground and selected. Bagging the selected material and sending it to a rain dryer, where it becomes a dry material, is what happens. The finished graphite product is the rain-dried one. You can send the dry material to the drying facility, dry it, and then bag it like regular graphite. The finished product has an average carbon content at 90%. The pencil lead is used, along with the graphite electrode in the battery and the lubricant characteristics of the cable car. It has an opaque, fine scaly and metallic dark gray color. Graphite feels soft and silky. Has high electrical conductivity.
Price for graphite dust
Price will depend on how finely and pure graphite powder is. The purchase volume may also impact the price. Large quantities of high quality graphite powder are more expensive. Our company website has the graphite price.
