Flake graphite is processed into a variety of graphite materials suitable for different industries due to its excellent characteristics, among which the graphite sealing material has good thermal stability, self-lubrication, corrosion resistance and other advantages. Compared with ordinary sealing materials, graphite sealing materials can be used in a more demanding condition for a long time stable, rarely need maintenance, so it is often used in a variety of sealing environment requirements in the field of higher, such as aerospace, aviation . 

The  development direction of graphite sealing materials:

1. Strengthen the performance of common raw materials

By studying the effects of different raw materials on the properties of graphite, the raw materials were selected to prepare graphite products. The suitable impregnating material was selected to strengthen the graphite products.

2. Strengthen the research on technological process

Through the in-depth research and analysis of different processes in the manufacturing process, such as mixing, sintering, impregnation, etc., the raw materials and the manufacturing process are further matched . In the process of manufacturing, better process design is adopted and the process flow is strictly controlled to achieve better results and obtain a good amount of graphite material suitable for sealing.

3. Strengthen research on new materials

Expand the selection range of raw materials, understand the properties of new materials, and study the gain mechanism of new materials on graphite products . Such as carbon fiber reinforced graphite material folding, tensile and other mechanical properties ; Low dimensional graphene increases the strength of the graphite material. By introducing new materials to control the structural defects of graphite products, the comprehensive properties of graphite sealing materials were improved.

4. Strengthening applied environment research

According to the requirements of different working environments, the corresponding application research is carried out to make the graphite material better match the working environment and achieve a good sealing effect . At the same time, continuous research and development of graphite seal materials, and constantly improve its performance, in order to meet the more demanding use requirements, expand its application range.

5. Strengthen the research on monitoring and inspection methods

Aviation and aerospace graphite sealing materials due to its special use environment, if its internal defects, in the process of work is likely to lead to seal failure, causing extremely serious consequences . In order to ensure that the graphite sealing material can work stably and effectively, it is necessary to make a deep study on its detection method.

Tianshengda graphite company believes that in the aerospace field, graphite sealing materials are not fully meet the use of demand, in order to make the graphite sealing materials for better application, strengthening its strength, density and better sealing will be the development direction of graphite sealing materials.
