Graphite is a good conductor of electricity graphite is greatly used in the making of electronic products and it has a huge demand in the engineering sector. Apart from that, graphite also has a high conductivity in terms of heat so in that case, the “uses of graphite” are also seen in the making of batteries, solar panels as well as electrodes. Besides this, the “uses of graphite” are commonly seen in the making of pencils along with lubricants, as it has strong anisotropic characteristics. “Uses of graphite” are commonly observed in order to polish iron products. Graphite is mainly used in the making of pencils because it has layered structures that are very effective to link with the Waal forces.                                            

Uses of graphite

1. “Uses of graphite” are generally seen as writing as well as artists’ material and it is generally used in the making of lubricant as Graphite can work in a high temperature like 787 degrees Celsius.  
2. “Uses of graphite” are also seen in the sector of nuclear tractors as well as the electrical industry. Apart from that, in the current situation, graphite is used for paint purposes and refractory work.
3. In the mechanical and nuclear industry, the applications of graphite are also severally seen as they produced moderator rods. 
4. Principal applications of graphite are generally seen in different industries as graphite is a good anti-flammable protector as well as frictional and brake linings. Apart from that, the applications of graphite are commonly seen in large-size factories of “refractory materials” as well as “special greases”.

Uses of diamond and graphite

1. Significant “Uses of diamond” are seen in the making of jewellery and it is used in industrial purposes like drilling, grinding as well as cutting different types of materials. 
2. “Uses of diamond and graphite” are commonly used in beauty products, in the treatment of teeth cavities, bio-imaging purposes as well.  
3. “Uses of diamond and graphite” are often seen to polish different tools, in the wrinkle treatment and in the composition of computer semiconductors as well.  On the other hand, general uses of diamond and graphite are observed in the making of sound systems, tribology as well as in the purpose of drug delivery.  

Graphite: Industrial application 

In 2019, the market value of graphite in the global market was more than $14.5 billion but the scenario has rapidly changed and in the current situation, the market value of graphite has increased to $18.6 billion. It is expected that by the end of 2027, the marketing value of graphite will increase to $22.1 billion and it will show huge growth in the future global market. There are few countries in the world like China, Japan, and India that are the main source of graphite and it is seen that more than 40% of graphite of the world is produced in these countries. There are two different types of graphite that are generally seen such as natural graphite and synthetic graphite. “Amorphous graphite” and “flake graphite” are some examples of natural graphite and synthetic graphite including “graphite electronic”, “carbon fibre” as well as “graphite powder”.   

Properties of graphite 

There are different types of unique properties that are commonly seen in the composition of graphite such as the colour of graphite is greyish black and it is generally lighter than other carbon products like a diamond. Apart from that, graphite has a high conductivity in terms of electricity as well as heat so it is greatly used in the electrical industry in the making of batteries, pencils, and other electrical products. Graphite is crystalline solid and it is a very soapy texture to touch. The principal properties of graphite are that it is non-flammable so there is a huge demand in the electronic sector to make the electronic product safe and secure.                                            

Conclusion 

Graphite and diamond are two types of products that are the main source of carbon and they are commonly used in the making of beauty products, in the treatment of teeth cavities, and for bio-imaging purposes. Apart from that, the beauty products are also made from graphite and diamond in the present day due to their softness. In the current situation, diamond and graphite are mostly used in sound systems, tribology as well as for the purpose of drug delivery Electronic products such as batteries, different types of sound systems, and other wire particles are made of diamond and graphite.
