Here is the translation of the graphite processing and forming methods:
1. Molding (Compression Molding)
- Process: Graphite powder is mixed with a binder, and then compressed and molded under high temperature and high pressure using a mold.
- Features: Suitable for producing graphite products with complex shapes or larger sizes, resulting in high-density and stable products.
2. Extrusion Molding
- Process: Graphite powder mixed with a binder is extruded through an extruder to form shapes, commonly used for making long or cylindrical graphite products.
- Features: Ideal for mass production of long or slender graphite materials, such as graphite electrodes.
3. Isostatic Pressing
- Process: After placing the graphite powder in a mold, it is formed using uniform pressure from a liquid or gas in an isostatic press.
- Features: Provides good uniformity and density in the products, suitable for producing high-performance graphite products.
4. Hot Pressing
- Process: Forming is done by applying pressure at high temperatures, usually used in the production of high-purity graphite.
- Features: Produces high-purity products, ideal for manufacturing high-strength, high-density graphite materials.
5. Injection Molding
- Process: Graphite powder mixed with a binder is injected into a mold through an injection machine and cooled to form.
- Features: Suitable for producing small, complex parts with high precision requirements, offering high efficiency.
6. Machining (Turning)
- Process: Graphite blanks are machined by turning, milling, drilling, etc., to obtain the desired shapes.
- Features: Suitable for custom processing, especially for products that require high precision.
Different forming methods are applicable to various applications and product requirements. Choosing the right method based on specific needs can improve product quality and production efficiency.
