Amorphous graphite—also known as earthy graphite, microcrystalline graphite, or black lead powder—does not actually lack graphite crystals as its name might suggest; rather, its crystals are extremely small, forming a microcrystalline structure. X-ray analysis reveals that amorphous earthy graphite
Crystalline graphite (or flake graphite) is essentially natural graphite, referring to graphite minerals found in nature that possess a well-developed crystal structure and visible crystal forms; man-made materials are typically referred to as "artificial graphite" or "synthetic graphite" and are ge
Carbon composite materials refer to the general term for composite materials with carbon as the matrix. They are made of carbon and resin, metal, ceramics and other matrices to make structural materials. Carbon composite materials have high strength, excellent heat resistance (can withstand high temperatures above 2000°C), excellent thermal shock resistance, low thermal expansion coefficient (small deformation), small heat capacity (energy saving), and small specific gravity (steel 1/5), excellent corrosion resistance and radiation resistance. It is often used in fields with strict requirements on density, stiffness, weight, fatigue properties, etc., such as carbon-carbon composite parts for 3D printing, vacuum furnace protection carbon felt, aerospace carbon fiber, etc.
