Understanding the Properties of Graphite for Aerospace Applications

Understanding the Properties of Graphite for Aerospace Applications

The aerospace industry demands materials that can perform reliably in the most extreme conditions imaginable. All rocket science jokes aside, there is little room for error in aerospace engineering and only the most formidable materials make their way into aerospace applications. From the intense heat of rocket engine combustion to the electromagnetic interference challenges in modern avionics, aerospace engineers need materials with exceptional properties. Graphite, with its unique combination of characteristics, has become indispensable in aerospace applications ranging from rocket nozzle components to lightweight carbon fiber structures. Lightweight Yet Strong Weight matters (like, really matters) in aerospace applications, where every...

Advancements in Graphite Recycling : What You Need to Know

Advancements in Graphite Recycling : What You Need to Know

The Importance of Graphite RecyclingA question we often hear from customers: is graphite renewable? While graphite isn't renewable in the traditional sense—it's a carbon material formed over millions of years—the good news is that graphite can be recycled and reused effectively. As demand for graphite batteries and other applications continues to surge, recycling has become important for graphite producers facing supply chain challenges and sustainability pressures. Recycling regulations in most places don’t stipulate that graphite must be recycled, but the graphite market has made recycling not just a priority for the environmentally minded, but also for the bottom lines of businesses...

Graphite in Nuclear Energy: What You Need to Know

Graphite in Nuclear Energy: What You Need to Know

When most people think of nuclear power, they picture uranium fuel rods and massive cooling towers. But there's another material quietly performing important work inside many nuclear reactors: graphite. This form of carbon plays several roles in nuclear energy production such as controlling nuclear reactions and providing structural support in the world's most advanced nuclear power stations, like the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station just west of Lorain, OH on Lake Erie. And with President Trump’s recent executive orders on nuclear power, it is likely that this industry will grow in significance as the US looks to increase its energy output...
