The invention relates to a
graphite material for a
monocrystalline silicon growth thermal field in a solar
photovoltaic industry. In the
graphite material, an aggregate is calcined
petroleum coke, wherein the true density of the calcined
petroleum coke is more than or equal to 2.1g / cm <3>, and the ash content of the calcined
petroleum coke is less than or equal to 0.3%; a binder is medium temperature
pitch, wherein the
softening point of the medium temperature
pitch is 83-86 DEG C, and the coking value of the medium temperature
pitch is more than or equal to 49%; and the
volume density of the
graphite material is larger than or equal to 1.80g / cm<3>, the resistivity of the graphite material is less than or equal to 7.0 mu
omega m, the compression strength of the graphite material is larger than or equal to 38Mpa, the rupture strength of the graphite material is more than or equal to 18Mpa, the
porosity of the graphite material is less than or equal to 14%, the ash content of the graphite material is less than or equal to 0.2%, and the
thermal expansion coefficient of the graphite material is less than or equal to 2*10<-6> / DEG C. The preparation method of the graphite material comprises the following steps: smashing raw materials, sieving, burdening, kneading, molding, primarily
roasting, secondarily
roasting, secondarily dipping, and thirdly
roasting; and graphitizing, thus obtaining a finished product.
