graphitization furnace

A graphitization furnace is a specialized piece of equipment used in the manufacturing of graphite materials. It's designed to subject carbonaceous materials, such as petroleum coke or coal tar pitch, to high temperatures in an inert atmosphere, typically around 2500 to 3000 degrees Celsius. This process converts the carbonaceous material into graphite, which possesses unique properties such as high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion, and chemical inertness. Graphitization furnaces are crucial in industries like metallurgy, electronics, and aerospace for producing high-quality graphite products used in various applications like electrodes, crucibles, and structural components.
