I-graphite powder, njengento ebalulekileyo yeeminerali kwimizi-mveliso, idlala indima ephambili kwiinkalo ezininzi ngenxa yeempawu zayo ezizodwa kunye neekhemikhali. Ikakhulu yenziwe yikhabhoni, inokumelana nobushushu obuphezulu-, umbane ogqwesileyo kunye ne-thermal conductivity, i-lubricity, ukuxhathisa ukunxiba, kunye nozinzo olomeleleyo lwekhemikhali. Isetyenziswa kakhulu kumashishini afana nesinyithi, ubunjineli beekhemikhali, ukwenziwa koomatshini, kunye namandla amatsha.
Kwishishini le-metallurgical, i-graphite powder idla ngokusetyenziswa njenge-recarburizer kwi-steelmaking kunye nokuphosa, ngokufanelekileyo ukuphucula amandla kunye nokumelana nokunxiba kwezixhobo zetsimbi. Indawo yayo ephezulu yokunyibilika iyenza ibeyinto efanelekileyo yokwenza{1}}izixhobo zobushushu obuphezulu ezifana nezitya zokubethelwa kunye nezitena ezixhathisayo. Kwishishini lemichiza, umgubo wegraphite usetyenziswa njengesixhobo sombane, ilubricant additive, kunye ne-corrosion{3}}resistant coating, ingakumbi kwi-electroplating kunye nokuveliswa kwebhetri.
Kwishishini lokwenziwa koomatshini, umgubo wegraphite, ngenxa yeempawu zayo ezibalaseleyo zokuthambisa, uhlala wongezwa kwi-oyile yokuthambisa kunye negrisi ukunciphisa ilahleko yokungqubana kumacandelo oomatshini kunye nokwandisa ubomi besixhobo. Umgubo wegraphite ukwasetyenziswa ekwenzeni izinto zokutywina, ezifana neegasthi zegraphite, ezilungele{1}}ubushushu obuphezulu kunye{2}}neendawo zoxinzelelo oluphezulu.
Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, ngophuhliso olukhawulezayo lweshishini elitsha lamandla, imfuno ye-graphite powder iye yanda kwiindawo ezifana ne-lithium -ibhetri ze-ion kunye neeseli zepetroli. Njengesixhobo esibi se-electrode, i-graphite powder, ngenxa ye-conductivity ephezulu kunye nesakhiwo esizinzile, ibe yinto ebalulekileyo kwiibhetri zamandla. Ngaphezu koko, kwi-semiconductor kunye ne-photovoltaic industries, i-graphite powder nayo isetyenziselwa ukuvelisa izinto eziphambili ezifana ne-crucibles kunye nezinto zokufudumeza.
Ngamafutshane, i-graphite powder, eneempawu zayo ezahlukeneyo zokusebenza, ibambe indawo ebalulekileyo kumashishini emveli kunye nobuchwepheshe obuvelayo. Kwixesha elizayo, njengoko iteknoloji iqhubela phambili, umda wokusetyenziswa kwe-graphite powder uya kwanda ngakumbi, kwaye ixabiso layo lezoshishino liya kuqhubeka nokunyuka.
