  According to the quality requirements of products, the selection of raw materials and process conditions, the cathode carbon blocks in China are divided into 3 categories: common cathode carbon block, semi graphite carbon block and graphite carbon block. Ordinary cathode carbon block with 1250 to 1350 degrees Celsius calcined anthracite as the main raw material. Semi graphite carbon block according to the production process is divided into two different.

  Which is a kind of high quality high temperature calcined anthracite or graphite fragments more even with all the bits of graphite as aggregate, green products after forming only after calcination (calcination temperature less than 1200 DEG C) is no longer in the graphite furnace heat treatment, the carbon block called semi graphite carbon block.

  Another with more easily to the graphite of the coke for aggregate, raw material after baking and then enter the graphite furnace in 1800 to 2000 degrees Celsius temperature for heat treatment, this kind of carbon block called semi graphite (chemical) carbon block. The strength and hardness of the former is higher, and the conductivity of the latter is better. Graphite carbon block, in order to ease the graphite coke as raw material, the temperature of its graphite processing should reach about 2500.

  The difference between the semi - graphite carbon block and the graphite carbon block lies in the degree of the ordered arrangement of the products, which is different from the degree of the degree of. The size of the product can be used to indicate the extent of the degree of graphite. The crystal lattice of the graphite carbon block is basically in a state of orderly arrangement, and the resistivity is less than 15 mu m; the degree of the semi graphite carbon block is low or only partially, and the resistivity is 15 to 45 m. In the process, the heat treatment temperature, the heat treatment of the semi graphite carbon block is about 2000 degrees Celsius, and the temperature of the graphite carbon block is 2800 to 2500 degrees Celsius. Common cathode carbon block, the resistivity of 50 ~ 60 mu m. Graphite cathode carbon block China has not been applied.

Carburetant

  Steelmaking using carburizing agent and cast iron using carburizing agent, and some other materials are also useful for adding to the carburizing agent, such as brake pads with additive, friction material. Recarburizer belongs to external steel and iron carbon materials. High quality carburizing agent additive is essential for production of high quality steel.

  Carburizing agent, there are many kinds of raw materials, production processes are different, wood carbon, carbon coal, coke, graphite, etc., in which various categories and a lot of small type. High quality carburizing agent generally refers to after graphite carburant, in under the condition of high temperature and carbon atoms arranged in graphite morphology, so called for graphitization. Graphite can reduce the content of impurities in the carburant carburant, increasing carbon content, reducing sulfur content.

  Carbon in cast use, can greatly increase the amount of scrap, reduce the amount of pig iron or no iron. Smelting furnace cast materials, should be the carburant with scrap charge together to put in, small doses of add can choose to add on the surface of the molten iron. But to avoid large quantities of hot metal in to feed, to prevent excessive oxidation and carbonization effect is not obvious and the carbon content of the casting is not enough. Increase the quantity of carbon agent, according to the ratio of other raw materials and carbon content to be. Different types of cast iron, according to need to choose different types of recarburizer. Carburant characteristics choose pure carbon graphite material, reduce too much impurity in the iron, carburizing agent choose appropriate casting production cost can be reduced.

  Use of carbon

  In the smelting process, due to the ingredients or improper loading and decarbonization excess and other reasons, sometimes resulting in steel carbon content did not reach the top of the requirements, then to the carburization of molten steel. Recarburizer used a carbon electrode, iron powder, petroleum coke powder, charcoal powder and coke powder. Smelting, high carbon steel, containing less impurities in oil Jiaozuo carburetant. The top blown converter steelmaking carburant is high fixed carbon, ash, volatile matter, sulfur, phosphorus and nitrogen impurity content is low, and dry, clean, moderate granularity

Carbon carbon composite material is made of reinforcing carbon fiber and carbon matrix,the C/C composite material need presoma decompose into matrix carbon,the property of the carbon decide that it can not be made by the inorganic material and metal matrix composite material.

  The preparation method mainly divided into three steps: prefabricate the carbon fiber embryo then increase the carbon content and density of the matrix and the last one is high temperature heating(graphitization).

graphitization

  1、According to the different requirement and different production,the way to make the carbon fiber embryo mainly have:

  1) Short fiber molding,

  2) Long fiber weaving and lamination,

  3) Multidimensional weaving or puncturing.

  4) Novoltex 3D fine woven fabric.

  2、There are three methods to increase the carbon content and density of the matrix:

  1) Liquid phase method

  thermosetting resin or thermoplasticity pitch impregnation and carbonization method.

  2) Chemical vapor phase method

  Mainly refers to Chemical Vapor Infiltration(CVI)

  3) Combination of the two methods.

  3、high temperature treatment

  The temperature of carbon carbon composite material usually range from 2400℃~3000℃,the purpose is to promote the formation of graphite structure,so it also called the graphitization.after the graphitization,the thermal conductivity of carbon carbon composite material can increase from 10W/(m.k) to 120W/(m.k),but at the same time ,the mechanical property will reduce about 10%.
