Description

Definition and Scope:

Mechanical carbon refers to a specialized category of carbon-based materials designed for mechanical applications where properties such as high strength, wear resistance, thermal stability, and chemical inertness are critical. These materials are primarily derived from carbon and graphite, often enhanced through impregnation with resins, metals, or other substances to improve performance. Mechanical carbon is widely used in components such as bearings, seals, vanes, and bushings, where its self-lubricating and high-temperature resistance properties ensure efficient operation under demanding conditions, including extreme temperatures, corrosive environments, and high mechanical stress.
