Jun 12, 2024
Advantages of Isostatic Graphite in Various Applications
1. Solar Photovoltaics, Semiconductors
With the continuous growth in global demand for consumer electronics, communication devices, and other tech products, the demand for isostatic graphite in semiconductor production is also increasing. For example, isostatic graphite parts are used in CZ crystal growth furnaces, contributing to the manufacture of large-scale integrated circuits. SHJ provides isotropic high-purity graphite for silicon growth equipment (CZ method).
Advantages:
- Good electrical conductivity and high thermal conductivity
- Low thermal expansion leads to high thermal shock resistance
- High-temperature strength
- Self-lubricating
- Good machinability
2. Mechanical Engineering, Glass Production
Advantages:
- High density
- Fine grain size
- Previously unattainable surface finish and complex product geometry
- Enhanced chemical and oxidative resistance
- Chemical inertness and non-wettability to glass and most metals
3. Vacuum Furnaces, Metallurgy
Advantages:
- Electrical resistance, durability, and other properties do not depend on orientation
- Can produce heaters for vacuum furnaces
- Enhanced chemical and oxidative resistance
- High thermal shock resistance
- Low wear and long service life
4. Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgy, Chemical Industry
Advantages:
- Ability to produce large-sized products with thin walls or complex shapes
- Increased service life of products operating under high load
- High thermal stability
SHJ provides isostatic graphite blocks formed through Cold Isostatic Pressing (CIP) technology. These graphite blocks are characterized by uniform structure and excellent isotropic electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties. Sometimes, they are purified in specially designed graphitization furnaces to remove non-carbon impurities. As both structural and functional materials, isostatic graphite is widely used in various industrial and scientific engineering fields.
