Differences Between Medium Grained Graphite, Molded Graphite and Isostatic Graphite
Jun 06, 2024
Special graphite is a high-performance material with a wide range of applications. Based on particle size and forming methods, special graphite can be classified into several different types. The following details the differences between medium-coarse graphite, molded graphite, and isostatic graphite.
Particle Size
- Fine-structured graphite: Small particles, typically used for precision machining and high-performance applications.
- Medium-coarse structured graphite: Relatively larger particles, suitable for general industrial uses.
Forming Method
- Molded graphite
- Isostatic graphite
- Extruded graphite
- Vibration graphite

What Are the Differences Between Medium-Grained Graphite, Molded Graphite, and Isostatic Graphite?
Medium Grained Graphite
- Forming Methods: Mainly includes extruded graphite and vibration graphite.
- Physical Characteristics: Grain size ranges from 0.8 to 2.0 mm, with a density of approximately 1.73 g/cm³. The particles are relatively coarse, and the surface is rough.
- Product Specifications: Generally weighs over 700 kg, with common specifications such as 500×500×1800 mm and 650×500×1800 mm.
- Applications: Primarily used in the chemical industry and metal smelting.
- Price: Generally lower in cost.
Molded Graphite
Physical Properties: Grain size ranges from 9 to 25 μm, with a density of approximately 1.86 g/cm³. The particles are fine and the graphite blocks surface is smooth, exhibiting "anisotropy."
Specifications: Product sizes are relatively small, generally weighing under 200 kg. Common sizes include 550×410×250 mm, 610×510×250 mm, and 910×310×310 mm.
Applications: Widely used in semiconductors, synthetic diamonds, metal smelting, lithium batteries, and photovoltaics (polycrystalline silicon production consumables).
Price: Mid-range price.
Isostatic Graphite
Physical Properties: Particle size ranges from 5 to 15 μm, with a density of approximately 1.86 g/cm³. The particles are fine and graphite surface is smooth, exhibiting isotropy.
Product Specifications: Product sizes are relatively large, with common specifications including 1200×640×270 mm, 1600×670×300 mm, and 620×520×250 mm.
Applications: Mainly used in semiconductors, photovoltaics (monocrystalline silicon production consumables), and electric discharge machining (EDM) in high-precision fields.
Price: Generally higher compared to medium-coarse and molded graphite.
