Property
- A byproduct from machining artificial graphite electrodes used by steel manufacturers
- Very high purity of about 99% (low-purity artificial graphite does not exist)
- Harder than natural graphite, making it often used for tribological applications such as brakes and brushes.
- In recent years, it has also been widely used as an anode material in lithium-ion batteries
- High purity, making it easy to use for applications where impurities should be avoided
Typical Applications
Friction modifiers for brakes
Carbon additives for casting
Lithium-ion battery anode material
