Graphite heater serves as an electric heating component crafted from graphite materials. Graphite, renowned for its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, finds widespread application as a heating element in specialized industrial furnaces. Despite having lower strength than metals at room temperature, graphite exhibits remarkable high-temperature strength. As temperatures rise, the strength of graphite progressively increases, surpassing that of all oxides and metals.
Graphite possesses a unique combination of metallic and ceramic properties. It boasts exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity, a compact structure, and a minimal thermal expansion coefficient. These characteristics make graphite stand out as one of the top materials for superior thermal shock resistance, solidifying its position as a crucial component in the realm of high-temperature applications.

The graphite heating element in a vacuum furnace has many advantages:
Excellent Thermal Conductivity: Graphite possesses outstanding thermal conductivity, allowing for rapid and uniform heat transfer within the vacuum furnace, ensuring efficient heating processes.
High-Temperature Stability: Graphite materials maintain stability at extremely high temperatures, making them suitable for applications in vacuum furnaces that require high-temperature treatments, such as metal smelting and crystal growth.
Chemical Inertness: Graphite exhibits high inertness to many chemical substances, enabling resistance to corrosion and enhancing its durability within the vacuum furnace.
Lightweight and High Strength: Graphite is a relatively lightweight material while maintaining high strength at elevated temperatures, contributing to reduced load on internal components of the furnace.
Low Thermal Expansion Coefficient: Graphite has a small thermal expansion coefficient, implying that the graphite heating element is less prone to deformation or cracking during temperature variations, thereby enhancing equipment stability.
The requirements for a graphite heater involve creating a stable thermal field within a heating furnace. Therefore, the graphite used should exhibit homogeneity and stable resistivity. In the early stages of selecting heating elements for industrial furnaces, graphite electrodes were employed, with later adoption of high-density and high-power electrodes for enhanced performance. This transition was particularly notable in processes like smelting quartz glass, where graphite electrodes served as heating elements.
As the semiconductor industry evolved, especially in the refinement of materials such as silicon, single crystal germanium, gallium, and indium, high-purity graphite with a fine and homogeneous structure emerged as the preferred choice for heating in furnaces. Additionally, in specific industrial and experimental furnaces, carbon cloth or graphite cloth found applications as heating elements.
These advancements underscore the importance of utilizing graphite with specific properties to achieve optimal performance and stability in diverse heating applications.
