Introduction
High thermal conductivity artificial graphite sheets are critical materials in modern electronics, energy storage, and thermal management systems. These sheets are widely used in smartphones, laptops, electric vehicles (EVs), and LED lighting due to their exceptional heat dissipation, lightweight properties, and flexibility. To achieve optimal performance, graphite sheets must undergo precise carbonization and graphitization heat treatment processes. Cxinduction™, a leading global supplier of high-temperature equipment, provides the industry’s most advanced dewaxing carbonization furnaces and ultra-high-temperature graphitization furnaces, which have been successfully deployed in hundreds of production lines worldwide.
