Types Of Artificial Graphite

There are many types of artificial graphite, such as single crystal graphite, polycrystalline graphite, pyrolytic graphite, highly oriented pyrolytic graphite, polyimide synthetic graphite, graphite fiber, etc.

Most artificial graphite products belong to the category of polycrystalline graphite. The main products of artificial graphite are graphite electrodes used in electric arc steelmaking furnaces and submerged electric furnaces.

Graphite electrodes are a high-temperature and corrosion-resistant conductive material. Artificial graphite also has a wide range of uses in many other industrial sectors, such as electrical brushes in the machinery industry, precision casting molds, EDM molds and wear-resistant parts, and electrical conductors or corrosion-resistant equipment used in electrolytic cells in the chemical industry.

High-purity and high-strength artificial graphite is a structural material for reactors in the nuclear industry and parts for missiles and rockets.
