Graphite manufacturers hold their own in the refractory world, where the graphite they sell is used to build kiln and blast furnace bricks. It is also used to produce crucibles, ladles and moulds for holding molten metals. Graphite flake is one of the most commonly used materials in the manufacturing of refractories made for the continuous casting of steel. With graphites extremely high melting point, a manufacturer cannot go wrong by catering to the chemical industry.
Graphite is used in such high-temperature processes as the production of phosphorus and calcium carbide in arc furnaces. It is also used to conduct electricity in some aqueous electrolytic processes like the production of halogens like chlorine and fluorine. High purity electrographite is well-suited to the nuclear industry because of its low absorption of neutrons, high thermal conductivity and maintained strength at high temperatures.
For many furnaces and other high-temperature applications, Thermic Edge can offer parts made from extruded graphite. Although slightly lower in strength than ISO Graphite, Extruded Grades are nonetheless ideally suited for many applications including furnace heating elements, fixtures and furniture, susceptors, moulds, crucibles and sintering trays & boats. Extruded graphite is also widely used as a cathode or anode material in a wide variety of electrolytic cell applications.
The silicon is purified, put into a crucible with other elements then melted at a very high temperature. A silicon rod is placed on the surface of the molten silicon in the crucible, and then pulled and rotated to form a monocrystalline ingot.
In ion implantation, the ion beam collisions expose metal components to high amounts of wear. Graphite shields are used to protect such components.
Carbon/Carbon composite materials combine unique properties of the element Carbon (especially high heat and chemical corrosion resistance) and physical properties of carbon fibers, that give the final product high strength and elasticity.
C/C composites are produced from carbon fibers, that are laid up in layers to form carbon fiber matrix. These composites enable to produce parts with excellent heat resistance, of light weight, and high strength.
Graphite is used for crucibles, ladles and moulds for holding molten metals, refractories for the continuous casting of steel, high-temperature furnace processes, aqueous electrolytic processes, nuclear industry applications, furnace heating elements, fixtures, furniture, susceptors, sintering trays and boats, cathode or anode materials, and graphite shields for ion implantation.
Graphite offers stability and strength at high temperatures, with use up to 3200 C in non-oxidizing atmospheres. It also offers high resistance to thermal shock, low coefficient of thermal expansion, good electrical conductivity and high resistance to chemical attack and corrosion.
Extruded Grades are suited for applications including furnace heating elements, fixtures and furniture, susceptors, moulds, crucibles and sintering trays & boats. Extruded graphite is also widely used as a cathode or anode material in electrolytic cell applications.
The silicon is purified, put into a crucible with other elements then melted at a very high temperature. A silicon rod is placed on the surface of the molten silicon in the crucible, and then pulled and rotated to form a monocrystalline ingot.
Monocrystalline silicon pulling is known as the Czochralski technique, and is sometimes called CZ pulling.
In ion implantation, the ion beam collisions expose metal components to high amounts of wear. Graphite shields are used to protect such components.
Carbon/Carbon composite materials combine unique properties of the element Carbon, especially high heat and chemical corrosion resistance, with the physical properties of carbon fibers. This gives the final product high strength and elasticity.
Carbon-Carbon Composite applications include furnace construction components, heat shields, heating elements, carrier racks and plates, and CFC screws and nuts.
