Graphite powder is a substance that is very sensitive to chemical reactions. In different environments, its resistivity will change, which means its resistance value will change. However, there is one thing that does not change. Graphite powder is one of the good non-metallic conductive substances. As long as the graphite powder is kept uninterrupted in an insulated object, it will also be electrified like a thin wire. However, there is no accurate number for the resistance value, Because the thickness of graphite powder varies, the resistance value of graphite powder will also vary when used in different materials and environments. Due to its special structure, graphite has the following special properties:
1) High temperature resistant type: The melting point of graphite is 3850 ± 50 ℃, and the boiling point is 4250 ℃. Even after being ignited by an ultra-high temperature arc, the weight loss and thermal expansion coefficient are very small. The strength of graphite increases with temperature, and at 2000 ℃, the strength of graphite doubles.
2) Conductivity and thermal conductivity: The conductivity of graphite is 100 times higher than that of ordinary non-metallic minerals. The thermal conductivity exceeds that of metal materials such as steel, iron, and lead. The thermal conductivity decreases with increasing temperature, and even at extremely high temperatures, graphite becomes an insulator.
3) Lubricity: The lubrication performance of graphite depends on the size of graphite flakes. The larger the flakes, the smaller the friction coefficient, and the better the lubrication performance.
4) Chemical stability: Graphite has good chemical stability at room temperature, and can withstand acid, alkali, and organic solvent corrosion.
5) Plasticity: Graphite has good toughness and can be connected into very thin sheets.
6) Thermal shock resistance: Graphite can withstand severe temperature changes without damage when used at room temperature. When the temperature suddenly changes, the volume of graphite does not change much and will not crack.
