Understanding Graphite Powder- Properties and Applications

Graphite powder, a finely milled form of crystalline carbon, exhibits exceptional thermal and electrical conductivity, lubricity, chemical stability, and refractoriness. These properties make it indispensable across various industries. In lubrication, it serves as a dry lubricant in machinery, reducing friction without leaving sticky residues. The electronics industry utilises its electrical conductivity in batteries, electrodes, and conductive coatings. Its high thermal resistance makes it suitable for manufacturing refractory materials like crucibles and furnace linings.
