A crystalline form of carbon (c) found in natural deposits or formed by eating black carbon (C).
carbon-based material, used in lead pencils, lubricants, paints, and coatings
A crystallie type of carbon that is used in glassworking for tools as it doesn't burn or stick to hot glass.
A crystalline allotropic form of carbon used in "lead" pencils.
A synthetic material that is heat-induced to make soft, black carbon/graphite filaments. Graphite fibers are available in different strengths and modulus values. Graphite is an excellent substitute for steel in shafts for several reasons. It is lighter ( but just as strong) so it can be swung faster to create more clubhead velocity and, in turn, greater distance. It also has dampening qualities which make it a better choice for seniors and others with hand, wrist, arm and shoulder ailments.
An amorphous form of carbon, made of carbon atoms bound hexagonally in sheets (like chickenwire).
A type of carbon used for pencils, transfer sheets and as a dry lubricant. Synthetic graphite is made from carborundum
(graf' ite) - An opaque form of carbon found in some iron, ordinary chondrite and ureilite meteorites.
Soft opaque, black mineral composed of carbon. It is immune to most acids and conducts electricity well. It is used in lead pencils, paint, as a lubricant and an electrode.
also know as pencil, graphite is a variety of nearly pure carbon. Depending on its origin, the color of graphite varies from velvety black to steel gray. As early as the sixteenth century, it was discovered that graphite could be covered by pen, ink, or paint without disturbing the line, unlike charcoal or chalk, thus it became a popular medium to use for sketching out a work that would later be gone over in another medium. Léon Bakst’s Portrait of Virgina Zucchi uses graphite on almost all of the paper surface.
This comes from the Greek word that means "to write." Graphite is the "lead" in pencils.
A form of carbon. Used for lead pencils, lubrication of machinery, the rubbing surfaces of wood, and as a conductor in electrical construction. Also employed as a pigment for paints used in structural steel work.
a soft, black, lustrous mineral made of carbon used in lead pencils, paints, crucibles, and as a lubricant.
A crystalline form of carbon that can be sharpened into a stick and used for drawing. Although known since the 1500s, graphite did not become common in drawings until the 1700s. Graphite is generally grayer and smoother than black chalk or charcoal, and produces a line with a soft metallic sheen visible in raking light. Early on, graphite was confused with lead and is still today commonly referred to as "lead," "lead pencil," or simply "pencil."
A form of carbon. When mixed with clay and compressed, makes the common pencil. The amount of graphite/ clay mixture will determine the pencil's hardness or darkness.
A soft form of the element carbon. It is used for pencil leads, as a lubricant, as a moderator in nuclear reactors, and for other products. It does not burn easily or fuse at high temperatures, and is an important material in the construction of phosphoric acid fuel cells.
A soft gray-colored carbon with a metallic luster. Used in pencils or drawing sticks.
A combination of carbon and fiberglass materials producing frames that are extremely lightweight and strong.
The simplest and most immediate drawing media. A “lead pencil†is actually made up of a mixture of clay and the mineral graphite encased in cedarwood. Drawing pencils can range in hardnesses from a hard 8H to a soft 8B, with an HB halfway between the two.
A carbon-based powdered substance that is used as a lubricant for applications in which oil is unsuitable. Graphite is recommended for use on your window and door hinges and locks.
One of the four forms of carbon. In EDM, a material used for electrodes which has high heat resistance and transfers electric current very efficiently. It is the most popular electrode material and probably the easiest to machine. [ Words starting with H
Usually this just means "pencil," but there is also stick graphite and powdered graphite.
Combines carbon and fiberglass materials, it is extremely lightweight and strong.
Flexible carbon material used to make gaskets and packing. The gaskets may be flat graphite sheet or have metal inserts for added strength. The packing is a combination of lattice braided rings used as anti-extrusion or wiper rings and die-formed rings which are compressed to effect the seal.
Crystal form of the element carbon. Graphite is extremely heat-resistant and a very efficient electrical conductor. Graphite electrodes are frequently used in die-sinking EDM.
A material composed of carbon fibers in an epoxy matrix. It is lighter and stiffer than fiberglass, however sometimes it is not as durable and it is more expensive. It can be found in solid rod form and hollow wound or protruded tubes.
Carbon-based substance that when bonded in layers produces an exceptionally strong buy very light material ideal for golf-club shafts and increasingly also employed in the manufacture of clubheads.
Carbon based material used for it's density to make club shafts and heads.
Mineral consisting of a form of carbon; it is soft, black, and lustrous and has a greasy feeling; used in pencils, crucibles, lubricants, paints, and polishes.
A crystalline form of carbon having a laminar structure, which is used as a lubricant. It may be of natural or synthetic origin.
Elemental carbon in cast iron.
a soft black form of carbon found in nature, used for pencil leads
In powder form, a dry substance that works well for lubricating racecar wheels and axles. Available from Pitsco in small bottles.
Graphite, a mix of clay and carbon, is produced in various grades of hardness the harder the graphite the more accurate the line it can produce. Softer graphite can be smudged to produce larger areas and grades of shading, from hazy greys to deep black.
Graphite - Lead pencil Greenware
Soft carbon having an iron-gray color and a metallic luster.
Author: I. Suarez-Martinez Soft black lustrous mineral. the thermodynamically most stable allotropic form of carbon. It is made of carbon atoms bound hexagonally in sheets (like honeycombs). AB or Bernal graphite: ABC or Rhombohedral Graphite: AA graphite: Some common names for directions in graphite
A form of carbon used in making lampworking tools due to the fact that it will not stick to hot glass.
A form of carbon, used as a moderator in certain types of nuclear reactor. Graphite is a very efficient moderator, enabling uranium to be used in a fission reactor without enrichment.
A form of carbon with a metallic lustre and a greasy feel. Compressed with fine clay, it is used in lead pencils, paints, and various coatings.
Crystalline carbon used in very pure form as a moderator, principally in gas-cooled reactors, but also in Soviet-designed RBMK reactors.
A solid lubricant with layered lattice structure. Graphite is suitable for dry running or as an active ingredient in oils or greases. It absorbs moisture and displays its best lubrication characteristics in damp environments.
A soft, black, lustrous form of natural carbon dust, which is used in locks, etc. as a lubricant.
a soft, black mineral with a metallic luster, consisting of carbon. Graphite is used for lead in pencils and for lubricating machinery. [AHDOS
Native carbon in hexagonal crystals, also foliated or granular massive, of black color with metallic luster, and soft. Used for crucibles, foundry facings, lubricants, etc. Also made artificially by passing alternating current through a mixture of petroleum coke and coal tar pitch. See Coke, Crucible.
Graphite replaced lead in the mid 1790s, when it was discovered by Nicolas Jaques Conté to produce the same range of greys and blacks as its dangerous predecessor. A crystalline form of carbon, commonly used in glass working tools because it does not burn or stick to glass. Grayish-black, flaky and greasy allotrope of carbon. Favored for use in pencils.
Solid lubricant with layered grid structure. Suitable for dry running or as active ingredient in oils or greases. Graphite absorbs moisture. Graphite displays its best lubrication characteristics in damp environments.
Graphite (named by Abraham Gottlob Werner in 1789 from the Greek γÏαφειν: "to draw/write", for its use in pencils) is one of the allotropes of carbon. Unlike diamond, graphite is an electrical conductor, and can be used, for instance, as the material in the electrodes of an electrical arc lamp. Graphite holds the distinction of being the most stable form of solid carbon ever discovered.
