Methods and systems in which a shapable mass, which is processed according to the method or in the system, has a lubricant applied thereto. As it is processed in the system, the shapable mass having the lubricant applied thereto is used to transfer lubricant to a part or parts of the system.

Methods and systems requiring lubrication

The disclosure relates to processes for the production and thermal treatment of carbon material, in particular, graphite powders, in an Acheson type oven, using a functional filler comprising graphitic material in particulate form allowing electrical current to flow through the charge. The particulate form of the filler allows greater flexibility and can be used to control the degree of direct and indirect heating, resulting in more uniform products. Such graphite materials may typically be employed as an additive in polymers, batteries, or other applications.

Process for the production and treatment of graphite powders

A method for increasing the Scott density of synthetic and/or natural graphite powders of any particle size distribution, preferably of highly-pure graphite, by subjecting the graphite powder to an autogenous surface treatment. The powder is used, in particular, for producing dispersions, coatings with an increased graphite/binder ratio and increased electric and thermal conductivity, gas and liquid-tight coatings on metal substrates, thermoplastic or duroplastic graphite-polymer composites, or for producing metallic, non-ferrous sintering materials.
