The main applications are collected in the following groups.

• In axial operation, carbon seals are used as steam heads and ball valve seats.
• In radial operation, it is used as a sealing element or metal ring seals in fan shafts, ship shafts, water turbines and various shafts in solid or segmented rings.
• Carbon products for the control and control functions of various processes in automation.

Carbon materials are preferred as mechanical sealing element in friction systems due to their high strength in wet/dry and dry working conditions. Carbon and graphite sealing elements are also materials that can be examined under this topic.

Carbon and graphite seals properties

• There are three types of carbon. One of them is resinous carbon. Very fine grain, high strength, high density, isotropic carbon, resin doped for high mechanical and sealing applications. The maximum operating temperature is 200°C.
• Another is carbon graphite. Very fine grain, high strength, high density isotropic carbon graphite. It has high resistance to thermal shocks and oxidation.
• Typical Applications are; It is widely used in high temperature applications, in continuous casting of aggressive alloyed metals, as a bearing carbon for rotary couplings.
• Antimony carbon is another type of carbon. Very fine grain, high strength, high density, isotropic carbon graphite. It is antimony added for high mechanical properties and impermeability. The minimum metal content is 28%.
• Carbon and graphite sealing elements are used in many areas and are long-lasting when produced by quality companies.
• Carbon Graphite materials are preferred as mechanical sealing element in friction systems due to their strength in wet/dry operating conditions. It is used in carbon sealing elements, steam heads and ball valve seats in axial operations.

PROPERTIES OF CARBON

• Low coefficient of friction and slipperiness
• Resistance to chemicals.
• High heat resistance.
• Resistance to corrosion.
• Low coefficient of thermal expansion.
• Carbon is used because of its properties such as good thermal conductivity.
• Carbon (graphite) is used pure or saturated with various additives, depending on the area of ​​use. It works in harmony with artificial resin, white metal, bronze, antimony, aluminum oxide (ceramic), cast steel, stellited or hard-coated materials.
