It is an aggregate of amorphous graphite. The crystal form can be seen only under the electron microscope. Amorphous graphite ore is gray black and steel gray, generally dull, with dense massive, earthy, layered, and lamellar structures. This kind of graphite lacks luster, its lubricity is lower than that of flake graphite, and its selectivity is poor. However, the grade is high, the carbon content is generally 60% ~ 80%, a few are up to more than 90%, the ash content is 15% ~ 22%, the volatile content is 1% ~ 2%, and the moisture content is 2% ~ 7%.
Request a quoteAmorphous graphite is a versatile raw material that has been widely used in the manufacture of various industrial products, especially as a release agent. Release agents are used in manufacturing to facilitate the separation of newly formed products from molds. A good release agent should be able to easily separate the product from the mold without leaving any residue. Its unique physical properties and amorphous structure allow it to be used in industries other than release agents.
Advantages of amorphous graphite
Amorphous graphite is a type of graphite commonly used as a raw material for release agents. It is a flaky black powder consisting of very fine carbon particles. To use it as a raw material for a release agent, it needs to be processed into a fine powder that can be easily mixed with other ingredients. The powder is then added to a mixture of solvents, resins, and other ingredients to create a release agent.
Unlike natural graphite, amorphous graphite has no crystal structure, which makes it more suitable for use in certain applications. Amorphous graphite is often used as a lubricant and release agent due to its excellent properties. It has a low coefficient of friction, which means it reduces the amount of friction between two surfaces. This makes it ideal for high-temperature applications such as aluminum alloy production and hot forging.
Amorphous graphite is also a good conductor of heat, which means it can help dissipate heat. This makes it ideal for products that generate a lot of heat, such as electronic devices and metal forming tools.
Characteristics of amorphous graphite
(1) The ability to withstand extreme temperatures. It can withstand temperatures up to 3,000°C, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. Resists melting or adhesion to the mold surface even at high temperatures. This property guarantees that the mold is clean after the component is released without any graphite residue. Examples include the production of ceramics and glass.
(2) It is chemically inert. This means that it does not react with most chemicals. This makes it ideal for industries that involve the use of aggressive chemicals or solvents. In addition, it is very stable and does not decompose easily, ensuring long-term effectiveness of the release agent.
(3) Excellent lubricating performance. Amorphous graphite particles slide easily against each other, reducing friction and allowing the molded part to be released smoothly and easily. Due to its fine grain size, it can be easily mixed with other materials to produce a release compound that provides excellent lubrication, allowing the mold to open and release the finished product without problems. This property helps improve the productivity of many manufacturing processes in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and packaging. In addition, its non-reactivity ensures that the material does not contaminate or interfere with the chemical properties of the molded part.
(4) Consistent finish. When used as a release agent ingredient, it can help produce products with the fine surface finish required by many industries. This property helps reduce post-processing operations and produce finished products that meet the standards of high-end applications.
Amorphous graphite is essential in the formulation of release agents. Because it has a larger surface area, tiny gaps and gaps in the mold surface can be filled to provide smooth mold release. Its versatility, high temperature resistance, natural lubricity, and consistent surface finish properties make it an ideal and valuable component for the production of many manufacturing processes.
