What is Graphite?

Graphite, which has a crystalline structure just like diamond due to the carbon in its structure, is still a very soft material that cannot be compared to diamond in terms of hardness. Graphite, which is recognized for its soft structure, also has an oily structure that leaves traces on paper, and today graphite is still used in pencil making together with clay mixture. While its oily structure gives graphite a special structure, its ability to leave marks on surfaces has made it an ideal writing and drawing tool for human beings. Graphite, which is also used in the industrial industry by turning it into oil, has a wide range of uses.

Thanks to its chemical structure, graphite can withstand very high temperatures and is also a very good conductor of electricity. Graphite, which can be used as a motor brush in every device where electric motors are used, is even found in white goods such as washing machines and vacuum cleaners in people's homes. Graphite, which has started to be used in the space programs of various countries in recent years, apart from all these household appliances, enables the heat shields of space shuttles to become even more resistant to heat.
