Abstract:

Investigations were conducted to determine the feasibility of fabricating metal-graphite composites by hot pressing at 2800 deg - 3000 deg C. Mixtures of calcined petroleum coke with varying amounts of different metals or their carbides were used as the raw materials and no binders were involved in this simple, one-step Process.
