Graphite occupies an important position in the industry, and because of its good performance, graphite is widely used in many industries, and its use effect is good, so it is loved by users. Some basic knowledge of graphite must be known to everyone. The following is the development history of graphite. Presumably very few people know this. So today, let us take a closer look. The following is the introduction made by graphite manufacturers.

Graphite is a kind of carbide accidentally discovered in the laboratory by Acheson of the United States in 1891 when he was conducting molten diamond experiments. At that time, it was mistaken for a mixture of diamonds, so it was named emery. The industrial method of smelting graphite, also known as the Acheson furnace, is still in use today. The electric resistance furnace with carbonaceous material as the furnace core generates graphite by heating the mixture of quartz SIO2 and carbon.

Several events about graphite

Graphite was first discovered in meteorites in 1905.

In 1907, only graphite crystal light-emitting diodes were born earlier.

In 1955, a major breakthrough in theory and technology, LELY proposed the concept of growing high-quality carbonization, and since then SiC has been used as an important electronic material.

In 1958, the first World Graphite Conference was held in Boston for academic exchanges.

1978 In the 1960s and 1970s, the former Soviet Union mainly researched graphite. By 1978, the "LELY improved technology" grain purification growth method was adopted for the first time.

Since 1987, graphite production lines have been established based on CREE's research results, and suppliers have begun to provide commercial graphite bases.
