Graphite felt is available in several thicknesses and widths according to the specific application. It is most often used as an insulating material, such as cladding, heat shields or filters. Most of the melt has a low density, which helps improve performance by allowing a furnace or similar object to heat and cool faster. This low density also helps to control and stabilize the temperature in order to create a more constant atmosphere and maintain more productive heat throughout.
Felt may have additional coating, which is useful for greater protection against erosion. Graphite felt is made easy to cut to size and set in place. In addition, there is a rigid form of this material and created in various forms, such as rings, cylinders and partitions.
Here are some popular uses of graphite:
Ceramic industry
The use of graphite is common in the ceramic industry to increase productivity, while furnaces operate at high temperatures and also provide greater mechanical strength and electrical conductivity.
Automated industry
Graphite is the preferred material for use in place of asbestos in the automotive industry and can be used in various fields, such as brake gasket and gaskets. In addition, it is an important aspect of brushes used in electric motors.
Defense Technologies
Graphite is a practical choice for a wide range of military aerospace vehicles because of the possibility of stopping high temperature ranges. In addition, this material is a useful choice for space shuttles and is used as surface tile. The material is very stable with high resistance properties and can end temperatures reaching up to 3000 degrees C.
Electronics industry
The use of ultrapure graphite is becoming increasingly popular in electrical circuits and components due to the increasing dependence on computers. In addition, graphite is the preferred choice for electrical circuits and systems that rely on automation.
In addition to graphite, there is also carbon fiber felt, which is a similar material and useful for applications that require high temperature insulation, such as furnaces. This material also has high thermal properties even when using thin layers to ensure reliable and long-lasting insulation results. In addition, this material can avoid contraction or contraction in order to maintain a constant temperature and avoid problems with hot sports or cavities.
