ʻO ka palaka graphite palaoa maikaʻi i hua ʻia e ke anuanu anuanu is hoʻohana ākea i nā mīkini, uila, semiconductors, polycrystalline silicon, monocrystalline silicon, metallurgy, chemicals, textile, uila umu, ʻenehana ākea a me nā ʻoihana olaola a me nā kemika.
Loaʻa i ka graphite nā ʻano aʻe:
- ʻO ka uila uila maikaʻi a me ka conductivity wela kiʻekiʻe
- Hoʻonui haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa a me ke kūpaʻa kiʻekiʻe i ka haʻalulu wela.
- Hoʻonui ka ikaika i ka mahana kiʻekiʻe, a hiki iā ia ke kū ma luna o 3000 kekelē.
- ʻO ka waiwai kemika paʻa a paʻakikī hoʻi e hana
