Graphite used as electrode, brush, carbon rod, carbon tube, mercury rectifier positive electrode, graphite gasket, telephone accessories, TV picture tube coating and other widely used in the electrical industry. Graphite electrode is the most widely used, in the use of graphite electrode smelting various alloy steel and iron alloy, strong current through the electrode into the electric furnace smelting area arc, electric energy into heat energy, temperature rise, so as to achieve the purpose of smelting or reaction. In addition, the graphite electrode is also used for the anode of the electrolytic cell when electrolyzing the metals magnesium, aluminum and sodium.

And graphite has good chemical stability. Special processing graphite is corrosion resistance, good thermal conductivity, low permeability characteristics, widely used in heat exchanger, reaction tank, condenser, combustion tower, absorption tower, cooler, heater, filter, pump and other equipment production. These equipment is used in petrochemical, hydrometallurgy, acid and alkali production, synthetic fiber, paper and other industrial sectors, can save a lot of metal materials.

Graphite has good neutron deceleration performance, in the atomic reactor was first used as a decelerator. Uranium-graphite reactor is one of the most widely used atomic reactors. Graphite can fully meet the requirements of high melting point, stability and corrosion resistance of decelerating materials used in nuclear power reactors.

In the defense industry, graphite is also used to produce nozzles for solid-fuel rockets, nose cones for missiles, components for space navigation equipment, insulation and radiation protection materials.

Graphite can prevent boiler scaling, one of the main uses of graphite is the production of refractory materials, including refractory bricks, crucible, continuous casting powder, core, mold, detergent and high temperature resistant materials. Graphite products after heating can release far infrared ray and so on. With the development of science and technology, many new uses of graphite have been developed.
