Carbon Rod is a cylindrical form of high-purity carbon, commonly produced from graphite or amorphous carbon, and used in various industrial and scientific applications.
Formula: C.
Appearance: Dark gray or black, solid cylindrical shape with a smooth or slightly textured surface.
Dimensions: Available in various diameters and lengths, ranging from a few millimeters to several centimeters, depending on the intended use.
Density: Around 2.1 g/cm³ for amorphous carbon or graphite.
Purity: Generally 99.99% or higher for most applications, though some rods are available in ultra-high purity levels depending on the required application.
Structure: Typically made of either amorphous carbon or crystalline graphite, with the choice depending on specific conductivity or thermal stability requirements.
Electrodes in Electrolysis: Widely used as electrodes in processes like water splitting or electroplating.
Battery Production: Carbon rods are commonly used as anodes in batteries, especially in dry cell batteries.
Electric Arc Welding: Act as electrodes in welding applications due to their stability and conductivity.
High-Temperature Furnaces: Serve as heating elements or support structures in high-temperature environments such as sintering and refining processes.
Chemical Processing: Utilized as reaction vessels or stirring rods in high-temperature, non-reactive applications.
Handling: Carbon rods are relatively sturdy, but larger rods or those with a high aspect ratio can be brittle and should be handled with care to avoid breakage.
Storage: Store in a dry place to prevent moisture adsorption, especially if they will be used in high-temperature applications where moisture could cause cracking.
Protective Gear: While generally safe to handle, it’s advisable to wear gloves to keep oils and other contaminants off the surface, especially for applications in sensitive environments.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
