Graphite is one of the most dynamic materials that exists today. It can be used in so many sectors, from medical to aerospace. If you need it for your particular operations, you'll want to remember these tips so that your material selection goes smoothly.
Cost
A pivotal factor that will influence this purchase is the cost of graphite. It will be priced differently depending on which distributor you work with. In order to save money on this material transaction, compare the rates of different distributors.
After letting them know how much and what type of graphite you need, you should be able to get comparable rates. Look them over carefully to see which deal is best for your budget on this material transaction. If the rates are all pretty much the same, then you can just move on to assessing other factors.
Type
There are so many graphite types available today on the market. So that your selection works out perfectly for your particular operations, think long and hard about these available options. Some of the more common include superfine, ultrafine, and angstrofine graphite.
Ultrafine graphite has exceptional surface finish and is particularly durable. Superfine graphite provides pretty good strength, but not as much as ultrafine. However, it is usually more affordable than ultrafine graphite. Angstrofine graphite is one of the most durable options and has an exceptional metal removal rate.
Look at these options and try choosing a type that works best for your budget and attribute preferences.
Machinability
How easy your graphite is to work with and manipulate is primarily predicated on its machinability. This attribute can vary quite a bit depending on the graphite materials you select. Some graphite will cut much more easily than others.
To find this information out, assess the hardness of the graphite you'll be working with. The harder the graphite material is, the easier it will be to chip. You don't want this when machining graphite materials, trying to get them to be a certain size and shape. Strength is also important to consider. You want graphite materials that are strong and not prone to damaging when machined.
There are so many practical applications to graphite materials today. If you need them to complete various operations, make sure you think carefully about your materials options. Know what you need in advance so that when you shop, you'll already know what direction to go in.
