Graphite

GRAPHITE [GPHT]
Catergory: Radioactive or Solids
Colour: Grey (~0xFF686868)
Melting Temp: 4500 Degrees at which point it turns into molten graphite.
Uses: Reactors
-conductor that can withstand more heat
-decorative/filter, new fuel
- durable building material
-useful for all those times you've thought, 'jesus christ, if only there was something that didn't melt (as easily)!'
-Explodes.....
-Doesnt ignite easily
-Conductor
-Changes colour to a deep blue when hit with photons
-Grows in ACID
-Slows any NEUT that hits it
-Burns at 500 degrees
-Lubricant, in negative vacuum it wont work as well. By 'lubricant' I mean maybe liquids and powders could move quicker or easier on it: ie: powders would move on it the same way liquids do when they're on a flat surface.
-Corrosive to metals when they are both in water: ie METL and GPHT surrounded by WATR
-It can explode under pressure and heat
I might add some more to this if I can think of any more ideas.
Thanks

How is it going to melt at 4500C when it ignites at 500C? It'll burn away before it melts. IF graphite is to burn at all, it should ignite at 4000C in direct contact with oxygen.

well, i used to heat graphite to 1700C with electric current at home, and it didnt do anything like burning -
Isn't that a good thing? If you want it to melt then I'm sure you can find a way to do it.

Burning graphite before it melts is not a good thing. Ever tried to melt wood? (Without using console commands like !set ctype lava wood.) The whole purpose of graphite is to stay solid indefinitely at extreme temperatures. If it starts burning 4000C short of its melting point, then there's no point in using it, or even adding it. The way it is now, you're better off using wood. You can't use something as a conductor when it's on fire.
