As we all know, graphite is widely used as a wear-resistant and lubricating material, a corrosion-resistant material, a casting, foundry, molding and high metallurgical material, and is used in the atomic energy industry and the national defense industry. Are there any other uses? Next, Xiaobian will talk about the new uses of graphite.

With the continuous development of science and technology, many new uses of graphite have been developed. Flexible graphite products.

Flexible graphite, also known as expanded graphite, is a new graphite product developed in the 1970s. In 1971, the United States successfully developed flexible graphite sealing materials to solve the leakage problem of atomic energy valves. Subsequently, Germany, Japan and France began to develop and produce them. In addition to the characteristics of natural graphite, this product also has special flexibility and elasticity. Therefore, it is an ideal sealing material. It is widely used in petrochemical, atomic energy and other industrial fields. The international market demand is increasing year by year& nbsp;

Making semi metallic friction materials. Since the 1970s, semi-metallic friction materials have been widely used in clutches and automatic linings. Semi metallic friction materials are made by bonding graphite, metal powder, steel fiber and clay powder with synthetic resin. These automatic linings are mainly used for the brake devices and clutch plates of high-speed equipment, such as aircraft, trucks and off-road vehicles. In recent years, asbestos has been gradually replaced by graphite. In some semi metal linings, the content of graphite has increased from 1% to 2% to Qiao%. The consumption of graphite in this field depends on the development of the automobile industry.
