Why is flake graphite conductive?

Scale graphite is widely used in industry, and many industries need to add scale graphite to complete processing and production. Flake graphite is so popular because it has many high-quality properties, such as conductivity, high temperature resistance, lubricity, plasticity and so on. Today, Furuite Graphite will tell you about the conductivity of flake graphite:

The conductivity of flake graphite is 100 times higher than that of general nonmetallic minerals. The periphery of each carbon atom in flake graphite is connected with three other carbon atoms, which are arranged in a honeycomb-like hexagon. Because each carbon atom emits an electron, those electrons can move freely, so flake graphite belongs to a conductor.

Flake graphite is widely used in the electrical industry as the anode of electrodes, brushes, carbon rods, carbon tubes, mercury rectifiers, graphite washers, telephone parts, TV picture tubes and so on. Among them, graphite electrode is the most widely used, and it is used in smelting various alloy steels and ferroalloys. Strong current is introduced into the melting zone of electric furnace through the electrode to generate arc, which converts electric energy into heat energy, and the temperature rises to about 2000 degrees, thus achieving the purpose of melting or reaction. In addition, when metal magnesium, aluminum and sodium are electrolyzed, graphite electrode is used as the anode of electrolytic cell, and graphite electrode is also used as the conductive material of furnace head in the resistance furnace for producing green sand.

The above is the conductivity of flake graphite and its industrial application. Choosing a suitable graphite manufacturer can provide high-quality flake graphite and ensure the efficiency and quality of industrial production. Qingdao Furuite Graphite has been engaged in the production and processing of flake graphite for many years, and has rich experience to meet the needs of customers in all aspects. It is your best choice.
