I-graphite yaziva yahlulwe yarite-based graphite felt, polyacrylonitrile-based (PAN-based) graphite felt, and viscose-based graphite felt because of a different selection of original felts. Eyona njongo iphambili kufuneka isetyenziswe njengolondolozo lobushushu kunye nezinto zokubambisa ubushushu kwi-monocrystalline silicon smelting furnace. Kwimizi-mveliso yamachiza, inokusetyenziswa njengesixhobo sokucoca ulwelo lwe-reagents zamachiza ezonakalisayo.
Ikharbon yaziva igrafayithi yaziva emva kokuphathwa kubushushu obuphezulu obungaphezulu kwama-2000 ℃ phantsi komshini okanye emoyeni. Umxholo wekhabhoni uphezulu kunowecarbon aziva, ufikelela ngaphezulu kwama-99%. Ekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1960, i-graphite yaziva sele isele ikhona kwihlabathi. I-graphite yaziva yahlulwe yaya kususelwa kwi-pitch-based, i-polyacrylonitrile-based grafite yaziva kwaye i-viscose-based grafite yaziva ngenxa yokhetho olwahlukileyo lweemvakalelo zokuqala.
