There are several key factors to consider when selecting artificial graphite: purity, composition, particle size and shape.
Purity: High-purity artificial graphite has better conductivity and corrosion resistance. Purity is usually expressed by carbon content or ash content. The higher the carbon content, the lower the ash content, and the higher the price.
Composition: The composition of artificial graphite has an important influence on its performance. For example, fine-grained, highly oriented artificial graphite generally has higher conductivity and high temperature resistance.
Particle size and shape: Different particle sizes and shapes affect the application performance of artificial graphite. Fine-grained artificial graphite is more suitable for applications that require high conductivity and high temperature resistance.
Advantages and disadvantages of artificial graphite and application scenarios Advantages:
