In terms of application industries, natural graphite carburizer is widely used in foundry and steelmaking industry, serving as a key additive for adjusting carbon content in cast iron and steel melts to meet the mechanical property requirements of castings and steel products. It is also applied in the non-ferrous metal smelting industry, especially in the production of aluminum alloys and copper alloys, to optimize the alloy composition and improve material hardness and wear resistance. Additionally, it plays a supporting role in the manufacturing of refractory materials and carbon-based composite materials, enhancing the high-temperature resistance and structural strength of the final products.
During actual use, natural graphite carburizer exerts three core functions:
1. Precise carbon adjustment: It replenishes the carbon loss of molten metal during smelting, ensuring the carbon content of cast iron or steel meets the formulated standards, thus guaranteeing the tensile strength, ductility, and machining performance of the metal workpiece.
2. Molten metal purification: Its low-impurity characteristic can reduce the formation of harmful inclusions in the melt, improve the fluidity of molten metal, and reduce the defect rate of castings such as porosity and shrinkage cavity.
3. Cost reduction and efficiency improvement: Compared with artificial graphite carburizer, natural graphite carburizer has a more favorable cost performance. Reasonable addition can shorten the smelting cycle, reduce energy consumption in the smelting process, and improve the overall production efficiency of enterprises.
