Graphite is a polishing agent and rust inhibitor used in the glass and paper industries in light industry. It is an essential material in the production of pencils, ink, black lacquer, ink, synthetic diamonds, and diamonds. It is an excellent energy-saving and environmentally-friendly material, and the United States has used it to make car batteries. With the development of modern science and technology and industry, the application field of graphite is constantly expanding, and it has become an important raw material for new composite materials in high-tech fields, playing an important role in the national economy.
Understanding China graphite blocks
The price of China graphite blocks materials is only 15% of that of copper electrodes of the same volume. Currently, graphite blocks have become a popular material for EDM applications. Compared with copper electrodes, graphite block materials are lower in cost and more stable. Graphite blocks have excellent mechanical processing performance. The machining speed of graphite block electrodes is 2-3 times that of copper electrodes, and there is no need to worry about burrs. The melting point of copper is 1080℃, while China graphite blocks are 3650℃, and the CTE of graphite blocks is only 1/30 of copper, making it highly stable even in ultra-high temperature situations. Even in platinum electrode processing, China graphite block electrodes have significant advantages. The density of China graphite blocks is usually between 1.7-1.9 g/cm3 (4-5 times that of copper blocks). Compared with copper electrodes, graphite block electrodes will reduce mechanical loads during the process, making them more suitable for large mold applications. Compared with metallic materials, the volume of China graphite blocks is designed to be lower, and it has excellent mechanical processing performance.

What are the important properties of China graphite blocks?
Thermal and electrical conductivity: China graphite block have outstanding thermal and electrical conductivity. Compared with ordinary materials, its thermal and electrical conductivity is quite high, which is 4 times higher than that of stainless steel, 2 times higher than that of carbon steel, and 100 times higher than that of general non-metals.
Chemical stability: China graphite blocks have outstanding chemical stability under normal temperature, resist corrosion by acids, alkalis, and organic solvents.
High-temperature resistance: China graphite blocks are one of the most heat-resistant materials currently known. Its melting point is 3850℃±50℃, and its boiling point is 4250℃. In the case of a super-high temperature arc of 7000℃ for 10 seconds, the loss of graphite blocks is minimal, with a weight loss of 0.8%. Therefore, the high-temperature resistance function of China graphite blocks is outstanding.
Smoothness: The smoothness function of China graphite blocks is similar to that of molybdenum disulfide, with a friction coefficient less than 0.1. Its smoothness function varies with the size of the flakes. The larger the flakes, the smaller the friction coefficient and the better the smoothness.
Special anti-thermal shock function: China graphite blocks have outstanding anti-thermal shock function, that is, when the temperature suddenly changes, the thermal expansion coefficient is small, so it has excellent thermal stability and will not crack when there are sudden changes in temperature.
