Metal industry

Artificial graphite finds extensive applications in the casting industry, primarily manifesting in the following aspects.

Firstly, due to its excellent high - temperature resistance, artificial graphite is often used as a material for casting molds. Under high - temperature conditions, graphite molds can maintain stable physical and chemical properties, effectively reducing thermal deformation and extending the service life of the molds. Additionally, graphite has good thermal conductivity, which facilitates the rapid cooling of castings and thus improves production efficiency.

Secondly, artificial graphite can serve as an insulating material during the casting process. Its low coefficient of thermal expansion and excellent thermal insulation properties help reduce heat loss, ensuring the fluidity of the molten metal and the quality of casting formation. Especially in precision casting, the stability of graphite significantly enhances the dimensional accuracy and surface finish of the castings.

Finally, artificial graphite can also be used to fabricate gating systems and risers. It does not react with the molten metal, preventing the introduction of impurities. At the same time, it can optimize the flow path of the molten metal, reducing defects such as porosity and shrinkage porosity. These characteristics make artificial graphite an indispensable functional material in the casting industry.
