Carbon Powder

Carbon powder is a versatile powder that can be made from an allotrope of carbon, with each allotrope having a different use or function. Carbon powder, regardless of its allotrope, is typically used by metallurgists to make steel or to harden steel and iron. As graphite, powdered carbon is useful as a conductor for batteries. Powdered diamonds, one of the purest natural forms of carbon, is often used for creating tools. Powdered carbon also is often used by scientists for organic chemistry, because carbon is necessary in this field, and it is able to make the most chemical bonds of any element.
