Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ʻo Graphite i loko o ka manaʻo graphite i hoʻokumu ʻia, ʻike ʻia ka graphite polyacrylonitrile (PAN), a me ka graphite i hoʻokumu ʻia ma ka viscose ma muli o ke ʻano like ʻole o nā felts kumu. ʻO ke kumu nui e hoʻohana ʻia e like me ka mālama ʻana i ka wela a me nā mea hoʻāno wela no nā kapuahi hoʻoheheʻe silicon monocrystalline. I ka ʻenehana kemika, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ma ke ʻano he kānana no nā reagents kemikala corrosive kūpikipiki kiʻekiʻe.
ʻIke ʻia ʻo Carbon ka graphite ma hope o ka mālama ʻia ʻana i kahi mahana wela ma luna o 2000 ℃ ma lalo o ka hawewe a i ʻole lewa inert. ʻOi aku ke kiʻekiʻe o ke kalapona ma mua o ko ke kalapona i manaʻo ʻia, e piʻi ana ma mua o 99%. I ka hopena o nā makahiki 1960, ua loaʻa ka graphite i ka honua. Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ʻo Graphite i loko o ka pitch-based, polyacrylonitrile-based graphite i manaʻo a me ka viscose-based graphite i manaʻo ʻia ma muli o ke ʻano ʻokoʻa o ka manaʻo mua.
