Application Of Graphite Products in Military Industry
Dec 11, 2022
Graphite raw material can be used as anti-wear agent, lubricating fluid, high-purity graphite can be used as neutron moderator in atomic reactor, and can also be used to manufacture clamp pan, electric stage, carbon brush, rechargeable battery (including large and medium-sized lithium batteries for pure electric vehicles) batteries), graphite chemical fibers, heat exchangers, cooling towers, intermediate frequency furnaces, arc lamps, refills for signature pens, etc.
Graphite can also be used to produce heat-dissipating raw materials, rubber seals, thermal insulation materials, and radiation-proof materials. Graphite new functional materials are widely used in metallurgical industry, chemical plants, industrial equipment, new energy vehicles, nuclear power plants, electronic information technology, aerospace Aviation and national defense security and other fields.
Graphite has an excellent neutron moderator and is used in atomic reactors. Uranium-graphite reactors are currently the most widely used atomic reactors. The decelerating material in the nuclear power reactor used as the driving force should have high melting point, stability, and corrosion resistance, and graphite can fully meet the above requirements. The purity of graphite used in atomic reactors is very high, and the residue content should not exceed dozens of ppm. In particular, the boron content should be lower than 0.5ppm. In national defense technology, graphite is also used to manufacture nozzles for fuel rockets, nose cones for missiles, parts of spaceflight equipment, insulation materials and anti-radiation materials.
