Used in steel production to enhance strength and hardness. Serves as an electrode material in batteries and fuel cells due to its conductivity. Employed in water purification systems as activated carbon for adsorbing contaminants. Utilized in the form of graphite for lubricants and refractory materials in high-temperature processes. Applied in the manufacturing of carbon fibers for lightweight, high-strength composite materials in aerospace and automotive industries. Used in black pigments for inks, paints, and toners. Plays a key role in carbon dating for archaeological and geological analysis.
