Friction

Graphite and carbon play indispensable roles in friction materials for the braking systems of all types of vehicles ranging from cars to buses, from trucks to trains, from elevators to wind turbines. The formulation of industrial friction materials is sophisticated, typically involving with 15 to 30 different raw materials to achieve the desired characteristics of performance.

Among these materials, graphite and coke stand out as core components for manufacturing brake pad products. Graphite, with its layered crystal structure, serves as a pivotal lubricant, reducing wear and enhancing the lifespan of the braking systems. On the other hand, coke, characterized by its amorphous structure with structural pores, acts as filler materials by contributing to the overall integrity and performance of friction materials.

Graphite's role in friction materials extends to both natural and synthetic forms, each offering distinctive morphologies and size distribution curves. The selection of graphite type, along with its specific morphology and size structure, significantly impacts the frictional performance of brake pads. These parameters are the key performance indicators such as the friction coefficiency, friction stability, and volumetric wear rates, ultimately affecting the reliability of the braking systems. So graphite is not only carbon, but safety!

Carbon Brush

Graphite indeed plays a crucial role in powering the world through its application in electric motors. The seemingly simple carbon brushes, essential squares of carbon, are indispensable for the transmission of current in these motors. Without these carbon brushes, the seamless operation of electric motors, which are ubiquitous in various applications, would not be possible. The unique properties of graphite facilitate a consistent and uniform transfer of current across the commutator segments, ensuring the efficient performance of electric motors.

Cored Wire

In the foundry industry, graphite's role as a recarburizer within cored wire is crucial for enhancing the quality and performance of castings. By increasing the carbon content in castings, graphite significantly improves their hardness, strength, and wear resistance. This enhancement is primarily due to carbon's ability to form strong carbides within the metal matrix, which are known for their exceptional wear resistance properties.

Friction

In the critical realm of automotive safety, friction materials play an indispensable role. These materials, crucial for the braking systems of vehicles ranging from cars to trains and even elevators, are complex composites comprising fibers, fillers, and resin binders. The formulation of industrial friction materials is sophisticated, typically involving 7 to 30 distinct raw materials to achieve the desired performance characteristics.

Flux Cored Wire

Graphite's role in the production of flux-cored wires, specifically tailored for the steel welding industry, underscores its significance in enhancing welding processes and outcomes. Flux-cored wire, a critical welding consumable, consists of a metal filler encased in a flux core. This design is instrumental in protecting the weld area from atmospheric contamination during the welding process. Graphite is integrated into these wires for its exceptional lubricating properties, which facilitate the wire drawing process, ensuring smooth and efficient production and maintaining the integrity of the flux core.

Green Energy

In the midst of an unprecedented energy revolution, the world is witnessing a rapid shift from traditional petroleum-based energy sources to green, sustainable alternatives. This transformation encompasses a wide array of energy forms, including wind, tidal, solar power, fuel cells, and lithium-ion technologies. Electric transportation, in particular, is emerging as a symbol of the next generation's commitment to sustainable growth, reflecting a global trend towards environmentally friendly and renewable energy solutions.

Lubricant

Graphite, a form of carbon, is distinguished by its unique structure comprised of horizontal layers, each containing six carbon atoms. This structural arrangement is key to graphite's superior lubricating properties. The weak covalent bonds between these layers allow them to slide over one another with minimal resistance, making graphite an optimal lubricant for applications demanding durability and wear resistance. Additionally, graphite's resilience to pressure and heat further enhances its suitability for a wide range of industrial applications.

Metallurgy

Graphite has been a cornerstone material in human civilization for over two millennia, initially utilized as a carbon additive in ancient China and among the Celts in Europe. With the advent of electrical power in the 19th century, graphite solidified its role in contemporary refractory applications and foundry technology. Its properties of high thermal conductivity, chemical inertness, and significant hardness make it indispensable in modern industrial processes.

Oil drilling

The innovative use of graphite as a drilling lubricant marks a significant advancement in the offshore oil drilling industry, evolving from its initial introduction in the 1940s to becoming a key material in modern operations. The transition to widespread use was not without its challenges, as the integration of graphite with other drilling chemicals presented various operational hurdles, notably mud loss. This common issue could lead to severe complications such as pipe sticking, lost circulation, and wellbore instability, which in turn could escalate drilling costs and reduce productivity due to formation damage.

Polymer

In the vast and ever-evolving world of plastics, which permeates nearly every facet of modern life—from textiles and furniture to construction, automotive, and even aviation industries—the role of graphite, particularly as developed and supplied by Cocan Graphite, is increasingly pivotal. This crucial involvement spans the entire value chain of plastic production, demonstrating the integral role of graphite in enhancing the properties and functionalities of various polymer-based products.
