Flake graphite is a kind of natural crystalline graphite. After mining and purification, graphite minerals are generally in the shape of fish scales, called flake graphite. Natural flake graphite has complete scale crystals, thin and good toughness, and stable physical and chemical properties.

The density of flake graphite is generally 1.9 g/cm3, and the reference range is the density of graphite: 2.09 to 2.33g/cm³

Flake graphite is generally processed into powder. There are many specifications of flake graphite, such as 50 mesh, 80 mesh, 100 mesh, 200 mesh, 325 mesh, 800 mesh, etc. The larger the mesh number of the flake graphite powder, the smaller the particle size of the flake graphite powder. The flake graphite powder is a natural flake graphite product. The larger the particle size of the flake graphite powder in the preliminary crushing process, the better the characteristics of the flake graphite powder. Obviously, it can be seen that it has a scaly layer structure and a metallic luster.
What is the melting point of flake graphite?
The melting point of flake graphite is between 3652°C and 3697°C.

Flake graphite is widely used in refractories and coatings in the smelting industry. Such as magnesia carbon bricks, crucibles, etc. Stabilizer for military pyrotechnic products, desulfurization accelerator for smelting industry, pencil lead, carbon brush for electrical industry, electrode in battery, catalyst for chemical industry, etc. After deep processing, flake graphite can be used to produce graphite milk, which is used in lubricants, release agents, wire drawing agents, conductive coatings, etc. Expanded graphite can also be produced, which is used as a raw material for flexible graphite products, such as flexible graphite seals and flexible graphite composite products.
