The Role Of Graphite Molds in Industrial Applications

Due to the excellent performance of graphite mold, it is widely used in metallurgy, machinery, chemical industry, electrical and textile. The following is a brief sharing of the industrial use of graphite molds, hoping to be useful to everyone.
1. Graphite molds can be used as conductive materials in industry. In this aspect, when using electric arc furnace or submerged heat electric furnace to smelt various alloys, a strong current will be introduced into the melting zone of the electric furnace through the electrodes of the graphite mold to generate an arc, and at the same time, the electric energy will be converted into heat energy to increase the temperature, which can achieve smelting and The production conditions of the reaction.
2. Graphite molds are used as corrosion-resistant structural materials in industry. Because the raw materials in the graphite mold have good corrosion resistance, they can often be used in stainless steel and other products.
3. Graphite molds are used as compression molds and casting molds in industry. Because of its relatively small thermal expansion coefficient and good heat and cold resistance, it can be used as a casting mold for various glassware and can save a lot of metal.
4. Graphite molds are used as lubricating and wear-resistant materials in industry. Because it is almost impossible to use lubricating oil to improve the wear resistance of sliding parts under high temperature and high pressure conditions, but graphite molds can.
5. Graphite molds are used as refractory materials in industry. Due to the high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance of graphite molds, many metallurgical furnace linings can be built with carbon blocks. In addition, various precious metals and graphitized crucibles also use the properties of graphite molds.
