Abstract

The effect of the nature of two-component fillers on the physical and mechanical properties of finegrained graphites was studied using highly oriented needle coke and nearly isotropic synthetic graphite as components of fillers. Each filler was prepared in the form of coarse (-120 µm) and fine (-10 µm) powders. Different mixtures of these components were used in producing graphite samples, which were then characterized by density, thermal expansion, compressive strength, and modulus of elasticity measurements. The results demonstrate that the thermal expansion, compressive strength, and modulus of elasticity of the graphites thus prepared depend on the microtexture, size, and shape of the filler particles.
