Flake graphite is probably the most common natural graphite material

Overview of Natural Flake Graphite C Powder

Flake graphite is a naturally occurring flake of graphite with a diameter of 50-800 microns and a thickness of 1-150 microns. This graphite has very high crystallinity. Natural flake graphite is formed by carbon materials under high pressure and high temperature. Carbon source materials can be either organic or inorganic, although most commercially sourced flake graphite comes from organic sediments. The required pressure is usually greater than 1 kPa (75,000 psi) and the required temperature is usually greater than 750 degrees Celsius (1380 degrees Fahrenheit).

Applications of flake graphite include but are not limited to, powder metallurgy, fuel cell bipolar plates, coatings, thermal materials, friction shock absorbers, conductive materials, refractories, general lubricants, pencils, gaskets, rubber compounds and other advanced polymer systems. Commercial grades range from 80 to 99.9 percent carbon purity and from 2 to 800 microns in size.

Since natural flake graphite is formed in carbon deposits under pressure and temperature, graphite is most commonly found in metamorphic rocks, where the deposits are uniformly distributed throughout the rock. Graphite is divided into super-large, large, medium and fine sheets. Depending on the use, the purity and/or size of natural flake graphite may be more important. The spherical industry needs a large size of pure flake graphite, while the refractory industry mainly focuses on flake graphite. The mass and size of flake graphite varies, which is partly why it is useful in a variety of different applications. It is also abundant in natural graphite and is available in many countries around the world.

Flake graphite is probably the most common natural graphite material. Most people are familiar with the finely powdered graphite used as a lubricant for keyholes, or the "lead" in pencils. Both of these products usually contain flakes of graphite. As the name implies, lamellar graphite has a distinct lamellar or lamellar form. All graphite has a flake form to some extent, but in most cases, flake graphite has this structure regardless of particle size.

Flake graphite is the most common natural graphite in geology. Large quantities of flake graphite have been mined in the United States, Central and South America, Canada, Africa, Germany, Ukraine, Russia and China. Small and localized scaly or scaly graphite deposits can be found from hundreds of other locations.

Applications of Natural Flake Graphite C Powder

Flake graphite is a material with unique properties that make it the preferred and irreplaceable choice for a variety of industries, products and applications. Although it is nonmetallic, it has the unique properties of both metal and nonmetal.

The spherical and refractory industries require natural flake graphite, and the largest buyer of this form of natural graphite is the automotive industry. Specifically, demand for flake graphite from manufacturers of electric, hybrid and fuel cell vehicles has increased significantly in the past few years.

Almost any green car or truck requires sheets of graphite to run. Graphite is a key component in lithium-ion batteries used in electric and hybrid cars and is also found in fuel cells. In fact, fuel cells require more flake graphite than lithium-ion batteries.

Flake graphite is also used in vanadium REDOX batteries and nuclear reactors. Vanadium REDOX cells take advantage of the chemical properties of vanadium and graphite to reliably store excess energy over long periods of time. Nuclear reactors encased uranium in large graphite spheres.

In addition, flake graphite is widely used in the gold treatment industry as a senior refractory and coating. Such as magnesium carbon brick, crucible and so on.The military industry firework material stabilizer, smelting industry desulfurization growth agent, light industry pencil core, electrical industry carbon brush, battery industry electrode, chemical fertilizer industry catalyst.

After in-depth processing of flake graphite, graphite emulsion can be produced for lubricants, demolding agents, wire drawing agents, conductive coatings, etc. It can also produce expanded graphite, used as raw materials for flexible graphite products, such as flexible graphite seals and flexible graphite composite products.
