What does natural graphite mean? This is naturally-formed graphite.
Natural graphite, an industrial mineral that is important, has numerous applications. It can be used in electronics, hot metal process, friction, coatings and aerospace.

What’s graphite?
Graphite can also be called the crystalline carbon form. It is composed of graphene layers stacked on top of each other. Graphite occurs naturally and is the stablest form of carbon in standard conditions.
Natural and synthetic graphite can be found in pencils, lubricants and electrodes. It turns to diamonds at high temperatures and pressure. It can conduct heat and electricity poorly.

What types of graphite can you find?
Natural graphite can be found in a variety of deposit types, but the main types are:
Small flake graphite flakes (also called flake graphite), are flat and plate-like particles of crystalline graphite with hexagonal edges, if not fractured. Edges can become irregularly or angular if they are damaged.
Amorphous graphite. This is a very fine flake of graphite that’s sometimes called “amorphous”.
Lumpy graphite, also known as veined graphite, can occur in cracks or fissure veins.
Highly ordered graphite (pyrolytic graphite) refers to graphite with an angular distribution of graphite between sheets that is less than one degree.
The term “graphite fiber” is sometimes used to refer to carbon fiber or carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers.

Where is natural graphite most commonly used?
Natural graphite, which has a melting temperature of up to 3650, is a refractory mineral and a great conductor and heat conductor. You can use graphite in batteries, lubricants or refractories.

Anode, for an electric vehicle
Graphite currently serves as the base element for the manufacture of lithium-ion cells. Worldwide demand for lithium-ion batteries with cathodes made from battery-grade, natural or spherical graphite is rising rapidly. This trend will continue until 2022. These batteries are mostly used in electronic devices and electric vehicles.
Graphite is a valuable raw material in light materials like carbon fiber and reinforced plastics for aircraft and cars.

Oils and grease
Graphite has been used to dry solid lubricant is one of the oldest and most valuable lubricants. You can use graphite as a lubricant to forge tools, steel and titanium, stainless, superalloy stamping pieces, die forging, hot extraction, impact extrusion, etc.
Graphite exhibits excellent lubrication, demulding and demoulding qualities. This material has excellent tool wettability and concealment power. High-quality graphite combined with refined oil can reduce the amount of engravings, tool wear, residuals and other effects.

The crucible and other refractory materials are
Conductivity of graphite exceeds that of non-metallic mineral minerals by about 100 times. Graphite can be used to protect ingots and lining metallurgical furnaces during steel production.

Graphite also plays an important role in aluminum production and as an alloy component within the cast iron, semiconductor, and other industries.
Graphite is available in two forms: thin sheets and expanded graphite. This allows for the creation of metal-graphite compounds. You can use graphite in a variety of ways depending on how much and where it is incorporated. It can be used for heating, passive damping, mechanical engineering and bearing materials for slow rotating plain bearings. You can tailor the properties of materials such as thermal conductivity, strength, damping, thermal expansion coefficient and Young’s modus to your specific application by combining them. To control the carbide content, powder metallurgy is able to produce up to 90% graphite with no pores. Even high levels of graphite can still be mechanically finished.

Brake pad
Brake pads can be made with graphite. Graphite powder can be used for friction stabilization and solid lubrication. It can also be used in brake pads adhesive.

Pencil
Pencils are made of graphite over a long history. From the 19th century pencils were made of a combination of clay and graphite. The pencil’s properties are hard and pale from clay, but graphite is black and soft.
