High purity flake graphite is an important variety in the production of carbon and graphite products industry, especially with the development of nuclear reactor technology and rocket technology, is one of the important structural materials used in nuclear reactors and rockets. Today furuite graphite xiaobian will tell you about the application of high purity flake graphite in nuclear reactor technology:
Flake graphite
Flake graphite is one of the decelerating and reflecting materials used in nuclear reactors. Early nuclear reactors were mainly graphite reactors, but most production reactors still use flake graphite as a decelerating material.
The melting point of flake graphite is very high, and it has strong strength at high temperature. It can be used for a long time near 1000 degrees, which is superior to water and heavy water. The absorption probability of thermal neutrons is small, but the deceleration ability of thermal neutrons is not as good as that of heavy water. Therefore, the scale graphite as core structure material of nuclear reactor volume is relatively large.
In summary, this is the application of flake graphite in nuclear reactor technology. Furuite graphite professional production of flake graphite, can provide customers with a variety of specifications of graphite products to meet your requirements, welcome your purchase.
