Copper-Plated Graphite Description

Copper-Plated Graphite is a material composed of a copper layer on a graphite substrate. This combination of materials integrates the properties of both copper and graphite, each contributing specific characteristics to the overall material.

Graphite is a form of carbon well known for its excellent electrical conductivity, thermal stability, and lubricating properties. Copper, on the other hand, is a metal with high electrical conductivity and good thermal conductivity. The copper plating of graphite results in a material that utilises the electrical and thermal properties of both substances.

Copper-Plated Graphite finds frequent applications in various fields, including electronics, where the combination of the electrical conductivity of graphite and the enhanced conductivity of copper can be advantageous. Furthermore, this material can be employed in applications requiring both good thermal stability and strong electrical performance. The copper coating acts as a protective layer and can enhance the mechanical strength of the graphite substrate.
