| A pencil company never worries about there being a graphite shortage or a cedar shortage or a shortage of yellow lacquer. |
| In a hypereutectic gray iron, solidification begins with the precipitation of kish graphite in the melt. |
| An example of allotropy is carbon, which can exist as diamond, graphite, and amorphous carbon. |
| The polystyrene-based material contains microscopic flakes of graphite that reflect heat, making it difficult for thermal radiation to penetrate. |
| Other methods consist of superheating the molten metals in a separate furnace, whereby the graphite is greatly refined. |
| The coke is heated in an oven that has no access to outside air to burn off most of the impurities, leaving a fairly pure form of graphite. |
