Carbon Powder

Carbon is found as a pure element only in the forms of diamonds and graphite. Graphite is widely used for many applications because of its unique combination of properties. It is slippery to the touch, a good conductor of electricity and heat, is chemically inert and can withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments.

Carbon is a key element in powder metallurgy. Carbon powders are used as a carbon source for the production of hard metals.

Carbon black powder has several uses in powder metallurgy, including:

• Boosting oxide reduction: Carbon black can boost oxide reduction in a narrow temperature range during the pre-sintering stage
• Uniform distribution: Carbon black powder provides a more uniform distribution than graphite powders
• Faster flowrate: Carbon black powder has a faster flowrate than graphite powders
• Coloring Carbon black's high tinting strength and stability can be used to color resins and films
• Electrical conductivity Carbon black is a good conductor of electricity and can be used as a filler mixed in plastics, elastomer, films, adhesives, and paints
