Performance Analysis of Carbon Materials with Different Fixed Carbon Content

In many industrial usages, carbon materials are always highly regarded due to their special properties, the tastes of which are adjustable by the fixed carbon content. Our Yihang enables varied carbon forms on sale by the fixed carbon content with some percentages = 70%, 80%, 85% and 90%. It is important to know how different levels of fixed carbon content affect performance in order to improve selection of the material for specific purpose.

Fixed carbon content
The fixed carbon content is the percentage of carbon remaining in a material after its volatile components have been driven off in analysis. This is an important parameter that determines the quality of the material and how effective the material will be used for many applications. So a lot of fixed carbon content means greater purity of the material is expected.

Performance characteristics by fixed carbon content
70% fixed carbon content: Materials with 70% fixed carbon content e.g. polyphenylene oxide are those that can be used in instances where moderate performance is required. Which means good economic performance can be achieved since the materials can be used in a more common manner, that is, where use in extreme or too high conditions is not expected.

80% fixed carbon content: At 80% fixed carbon content, materials are more performing with high improvement in electrical and thermal conductivity. These materials are used in those areas where the reliability and efficiency needs to be increased.

85% fixed carbon content: At 85% fixed carbon content, carbon materials exhibit increased strength and enhanced structural durability. They are appropriate for extreme conditions in which increased aggregate performance requirements apply. This level of fixed carbon content is so well matched with performance balanced against costs.

90% fixed carbon content: Carbon materials with 90% fixed carbon content come at the apex of carbon reconstruction and refinement. These materials are highly conductive and thermally and structurally stable, wear resistant and degradation resistant. It is suitable for such applications which require the very best of performance in all aspects including reliability.

Application considerations
Most application requirements determine the choice of carbon material fixed at a certain specific value of fixed carbon content. E.g. in industries such as electronics or energy storage, where high levels of electrical conductivity are inevitable, materials that contain greater fixed carbon content may be employed. On the other hand, projects that do not demand high performance may adopt low fixed carbon materials for cost effectiveness.
