Graphite cloth is a new type of material widely used in the aerospace, automotive, and new energy industries. It is made of high-temperature graphite fibers processed through special techniques such as weaving, knitting, coating, and compounding. It is featured with high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, high strength, low thermal conductivity, good electrical conductivity and excellent thermal shock resistance.
Graphite cloths have been used in many fields due to its excellent performance capabilities.
In the aerospace industry, it is widely used as a composite material for aircraft cabins, nacelles, engine exhaust nozzles and other parts for its good heat resistance, heat insulation and radiation protection capabilities.
For example, it was applied in the Boeing 777 as the thermal protection material on the inside of the left wing. In the automotive industry, graphite cloths are used as heat insulating materials inside automobile engines, covering parts of the transmission, rocker arms, cylinders, etc., resisting the heat damage during operation.
In addition, graphite cloths are used in the new energy industry for their good electrical conductivity performance. They are used in the manufacture of lithium batteries to effectively dissipate heat.
It has been seen that graphite cloths can be effectively used in a variety of fields due to their superior performance characteristics. It is also more competitive in terms of cost and processing compared to other materials such as metal and ceramics. Therefore, the use of graphite cloths is expected to be more widely used in the future.
