Graphite products are functional industrial components made from natural or synthetic graphite, possessing excellent high-temperature resistance, electrical and thermal conductivity, self-lubrication, chemical stability, and thermal shock resistance. As a leading manufacturer and supplier in China, SIKAIDA boasts advanced production facilities and focuses on high-performance graphite solutions. Its products are widely used in metallurgy, machinery, electronics, chemicals, aerospace, and new energy fields. This article outlines the core classifications, molding processes, main products, and applications of graphite products, providing guidance for material selection and customization.
Graphite products are mainly divided into two categories: natural graphite products and synthetic graphite products. Their performance and application scenarios differ significantly.
| Category | Raw Materials | Core Properties | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Natural Graphite Products | Flake Graphite, Amorphous Graphite | Cost-effective, excellent lubricity, high crystallinity | Refractories, foundry coatings, electric brushes, flexible graphite seals |
| Synthetic Graphite Products | Petroleum Coke, Pitch Coke, Needle Coke | High purity (≥99.9%), dense structure, isotropy, high strength | EDM electrodes, semiconductor components, photovoltaic thermal field parts, graphite molds |
- Natural Graphite: Suitable for cost-sensitive applications with low purity requirements (e.g., refractory linings, casting coatings).
- Synthetic Graphite: Suitable for high-tech fields with stringent requirements for purity, strength, and stability (e.g., semiconductors, EDM, photovoltaic manufacturing).
The molding process directly determines the isotropy, density, and precision of the material, thus determining its applicable scenarios.
| Process Type | Manufacturing Method | Performance Characteristics | Key Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Molded Graphite | Unidirectional/bidirectional compression of graphite powder and binder | Anisotropic, high density, cost-efficient | General-purpose molds, electric brushes, standard seals |
| Isostatic Graphite (CIP) | Uniform pressure application from all directions via cold isostatic pressing | Isotropic, fine-grained, smooth surface, high machining precision (≤0.02mm) | Semiconductor molds, precision EDM electrodes, continuous casting dies, photovoltaic thermal fields |
| Extruded Graphite | Extrusion of graphite-binder mixture through a die | Anisotropic, low cost, scalable production | Arc furnace electrodes, furnace linings, heat exchangers |
- Isostatic Graphite: Superior uniformity and precision compared to molded graphite, making it a core material for high-end manufacturing. Higher production costs are offset by its superior performance.
- Molded/Extruded Graphite: Economical in cost, suitable for non-critical applications where isotropy requirements are not high.
SIKAIDA's product portfolio covers the entire precision component industry chain, meeting diverse functional needs.
| Product Category | Typical Products | Core Features | Target Industries |
|---|---|---|---|
| Graphite Molds | Continuous casting molds, hot-press molds, glass-forming molds, diamond sintering molds | Good thermal conductivity, self-lubrication, low thermal expansion coefficient, thermal shock resistance | Non-ferrous metal casting, glass manufacturing, diamond tool sintering |
| Graphite Electrodes | EDM electrodes, arc furnace electrodes | Fast discharge speed (2–3× that of copper), low thermal expansion coefficient (1/30 that of copper), light weight (1/5 that of copper), low wear | EDM precision machining, steel smelting |
| Specialized Components | Crucibles, heaters, bearings, seals, thermal field parts | High temperature resistance (≤3000℃ in inert atmosphere), chemical corrosion resistance, self-lubrication | Metallurgical smelting, chemical processing, aerospace, new energy |
