Graphite Rod
Graphite rods, machined from blocks of graphite, are versatile and find use in a variety of industries and applications due to their special physical and chemical properties. For example, they are electrically and thermally conductive materials with high strength.
Product Info
There are different types of graphite rods, such as JC3 and JC4. JC3 is a dense fine-grained rod that is machinable and rated to a high temperature (2400℃ Heat Treating). It’s properties allow for good electrical conductivity and typically used for electrochemical applications. JC4 is a strong fine-grained rod that is machinable and rated to a medium temperature (735℃ Heat Treating). It’s properties allow for good density and strength when higher temperatures are not required.
Application
Electrode Materials: Graphite rods are widely used in the field of electrode materials, including electrolytic aluminum, batteries, lithium-ion batteries, etc. Graphite rods have excellent electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and stability, which can meet the requirements of complex electrochemical reactions.
High Temperature Materials: Graphite rods can also be used as high-temperature materials in high-temperature furnaces, molten salt reactors, and graphite electric heaters and other fields. The high-temperature stability and oxidation resistance of graphite are very excellent, and can withstand extreme high-temperature environments.
Machining: Graphite rods can also be used in the field of machining as a material for high-precision parts. Graphite has good machining properties and low friction coefficient, which can manufacture high- precision and high-strength parts.
Electrodes: In the lab, graphite rods are useful as electrode materials.
Stir Sticks: They are used as stir sticks in laboratories.
Heat Treating: In heat treating processes, graphite rods are used to support hearth rails or beams, allow for thermal expansion of graphite plates, and as support posts in fixtures.
Glasswork: Graphite rounds can be used to enlarge a hole blown in a tube, as a flaring tool, or to poke an indentation in the glass sidewall.
Fishing Rods: A popular use of graphite rods is in the making of fishing rods, including smaller ones, due to graphite’s sensitivity, durability, and lightweight properties.
Thermal Insulation: Graphite is used as a component in certain thermal insulation materials due to its low thermal conductivity.
