Because the chemical properties of graphite are very stable, graphite can be used as pencil lead, pigment, polishing agent, etc. words written in graphite can be preserved for a long time.
Graphite has the property of high temperature resistance, so it can be used as refractories. For example, crucible used in metallurgical industry is made of graphite.
Graphite can be used as conductive materials. For example, in the electrical industry, the carbon rod, the positive pole of mercury positive current device, brush, etc. are all made of graphite.
It is a wise choice to use graphite as wear-resistant material instead of lubricating oil. Graphite is often used as lubricant in mechanical production. We all know that lubricating oil can not be used under high temperature and high pressure, while graphite is different. Graphite can also be used under high temperature environment.
Graphite has good chemical properties and can be used in petrochemical industry, synthetic fiber, heater, etc. it not only has corrosion resistance, but also has good electrical conductivity.
Because the expansion coefficient of graphite is small, it can be used to make materials such as sand blasting and high temperature metallurgy.
Graphite has good neutron retarder, stability and corrosion resistance. It can be used in atomic energy industry, national defense industry, etc.
Do you know that graphite can prevent the boiler from scaling? When we are boiling water, we can add a proper amount of graphite powder into the water, so as to prevent the bottom of the boiler from scaling
