Graphite plates are versatile materials with numerous applications in various industries. They are commonly used for structural ribs, components of kilns, and copper, zinc, and aluminum extrusion machines. They play a crucial role in cable manufacturing, carbide, electrodes, and plastic injection molding parts. They serve as lubricating and sealing plates, and are most widely used in bipolar fuel cell construction.

  • Product Info

    Graphite plates serve multiple purposes in various industries due to their unique properties. They are used as conductors, receiving energy from the electrodes. They guide the flow of hydrogen and oxygen through their respective ends of the stack, ensuring that the maximum amount of gases and moisture comes in contact with the membrane. In fuel cells, graphite is used as a conductive material for the bipolar plates. These plates must be pure and of high quality to improve electrical and thermal conductivity, as well as ensure long-life operation.

  • Application

    1. Electrodes: Electrodes are often made of graphite due to its high level of conductivity. Graphite requires only three of its outer energy electrons to bond, leaving the fourth free to act in a delocalized manner. These delocalized electrons enable graphite to exhibit a high level of conductivity, explaining why the material is frequently used for electrodes.
    2. Nipples: Nipples are manufactured with 100% needle coke and are used in the assembly of graphite electrodes. They are designed to meet industry specifications and customer expectations.
    3. Cathode Blocks: Cathode blocks are used in the lining of aluminum electrolysis cells. They act as a conductor by receiving the energy from the electrodes.
    4. Furnace Linings: Graphite furnace linings are used in high-temperature furnaces due to their thermal stability and resistance to corrosion. They are used in vacuum, inert-gas, and sintering furnaces.
    5. Degassing Systems: Graphite degassing systems are used for purifying and degassing molten metal in industries such as aluminum and aluminum alloys manufacturing, zinc and zinc alloys manufacturing, magnesium and copper manufacturing, and precious metals and their alloys manufacturing.
    6. Electrographite Powder: Electrographite materials have been processed to extremely high temperature to transform carbon raw materials to graphite. This process provides increased thermal conductivity, decreased electrical resistivity, increased chemical resistance, increased oxidation resistance, and improved purity.
    7. Disks: Graphite disks are used in various industries due to their thermal stability, low cost, and good thermal conductivity. They are used in applications such as sealing material for crafting art or large-scale production projects.
    8. Machined Spheres: Machined spheres made of graphite are used in various applications due to their high strength, durability, and precision. They are used in industries such as electronics and glass for crafting art or large-scale production projects.

    Each of these products leverages the unique properties of graphite, such as its high thermal stability, electrical conductivity, and self-lubricating characteristics, to perform specific functions in various industries and the specific functions and applications of these products can vary based on the specific requirements of the industry or application they are used in.
