(01)About graphite

Graphite C

Graphite is a naturally occurring crystalline form of carbon.

Its distinctive combination of thermal stability, electrical conductivity, chemical resistance and lubricating properties makes it an important industrial mineral across traditional and emerging applications.

Graphite ores can occur in different forms, including flake and amorphous varieties, and the suitability of graphite depends on factors such as carbon content, particle size, morphology and impurity levels.

(02)Industrial applications

Wheregraphiteisused

Steelmaking

Graphite is used in metallurgical applications and as a carbon-bearing material in steel production.

Refractories

Graphite is an important component of refractory materials used in high-temperature industrial environments, including steelmaking.

Foundries

Graphite can be used in foundry coatings and mould-related applications because of its thermal and lubricating characteristics.

Lubricants

Its natural lubricity makes graphite suitable for specialised solid-lubricant applications.

Friction Materials

Graphite is used in selected brake and friction-material formulations.

Electrical Applications

Its electrical conductivity supports applications including carbon brushes and other engineered electrical components.

Batteries & Energy

Graphite is a major material used in lithium-ion battery anodes. This creates potential relevance to the rapidly developing energy-storage and electric-mobility ecosystem, subject to the grade and processing requirements of battery applications.

Advanced Materials

Graphite's thermal, electrical and chemical properties also support applications across engineering, energy and specialised industrial materials.
