Institute of Lanzhou Institute of Vacuum Super Lubricant Carbon Films Series Progress

Graphite and diamond-like carbon films are an important type of solid lubricants, which have excellent lubrication and wear resistance in the atmosphere, but these materials rapidly fail in a high vacuum environment, thus severely restricting their application in the space field.

The Research Group of Wear and Surface Engineering of Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences has devoted many years to the study of space lubricating materials. Recently, they discovered that two-dimensional graphene structure can solve the problem of vacuum lubrication failure that graphite has faced for a long time. Graphene is a basic component of a graphite layered structure, which transforms the three-dimensional structure of graphite into a two-dimensional thin-film structure. Due to the strong large delocalization π on the two-dimensional surface, the two-dimensional graphene sheet can spontaneously form an oriented layered structure under the action of π-π, thus avoiding the disorderly accumulation of polycrystalline graphite and the surface dangling bonds. The problem of exposure. In the friction process, the distance between the graphene nanosheets becomes closer, the frictional interface forms a highly ordered, straight layered orientation structure, and the parallel planes have a weak van der Waals force, and interlayer slip plays a leading role, making it It exhibits an ultra-low coefficient of friction at macroscopic contact. The graphene layer has extremely high mechanical strength and is not easily damaged. The low-friction state is maintained for a long time and wear is minimal. At the same time, graphene has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity characteristics. The results of this study lay the foundation for the development of new types of ultra-low friction, conductive and thermally conductive integrated space lubrication films (Applied physics letters 110 (2017) 073101).

On this basis, they introduced the graphene structure into the amorphous carbon film, utilizing the method of external field induced growth, using graphite as the magnetron sputtering target source, high-purity methane and argon as the reactive gas source, and in the external field (including Magnetic fields, electric fields, catalysts, high-activity plasmas, etc.) form graphene target precursors under a comprehensive induction condition, and are then sputtered into the carbon film in the form of molecules, atoms, or clusters of atoms to form graphene intermediates. Ordered nanostructured carbon-based thin film materials. The vacuum tribological performance of this film has achieved a great breakthrough. The friction coefficient is very low (less than 0.01) and the wear life is greatly improved. The current maximum reported in the literature is 1×105 revolutions. Under the same test conditions, the film reaches 8.5×105. The transfer has increased by nearly one order of magnitude (ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 8 (2016) 6639). Researchers have further solved the technical problems of stress in the film and firm bonding of various substrates through gradient surface layer, surface texture, and other surface/interface structure designs, which greatly promoted carbon film as a solid lubricant in space. Applications in the field (RSC advances 5 (2015) 8904, Tribology International 95 (2016) 298; 101 (2016) 395; and 71 (2014) 82, Tribol. Lett. 64 (2016) 24; 52 (2013) 371; and 49 (2013) 47, J. Vac.

Matters concerning the export of graphite

Over the years, China has been the most * big exporter of Natural Graphite products, in deep processing of graphite products technology leading developed countries, is against the natural graphite "with purchase and adopt a generation of" strategy, and technology blockade, natural graphite as a kind of non-renewable resources, with very good foreground countries limit zhi, its export of primary products, such as export carbon rods, artificial graphite, Graphite Block, pre-baked anode, etc., need to be dealt with the dual-use items.

The price of natural Graphite Powder is determined by three main factors: carbon content, moisture and particle size distribution.

1. The higher the carbon content, the greater the purity of graphite, so the price will rise in the form of the acceleration line (i.e., the higher the purity, the more complex the production process, and the higher the price increases).

The larger the scale, the lower the natural content and the higher the price. Conversely, the smaller the particulate matter, the less content in nature and the higher the price. Therefore, for natural graphite, the price of the normal (i.e., the material at the top of the sieve) is high. In the positive eye, the smaller the number, the bigger the scale and the higher the price. In negative eyes, the larger the number, the smaller the scales, the higher the price, the lower the price of negative items.

Artificial graphite HS codes for 3801100090, customs supervision conditions for export license of dual-use items and technologies, when customs clearance in addition to submit normal trade documents, and shall be submitted to the ministry of commerce issued "export license of dual-use items and technologies".
