Abstract
A method of forming an article that includes a composite including graphite is disclosed. The article is suitable for containing or processing a molten metal such as aluminum. The method includes forming at least one granulated mixture by mixing at least carbon black, flake graphite, needle coke with at least one resin, the at least one resin has a flow distance, as measured by ISO 8619:2003, from 20 mm to 150 mm. The method further includes shaping the granulated mixture into a shaped body and firing the shaped body.
Claims21
A method of forming an article comprising a composite comprising graphite, wherein the article is suitable for containing or processing a molten metal, the method comprising:
- (a) forming at least one granulated mixture by mixing at least carbon black, flake graphite, needle coke with at least one resin, wherein the at least one resin has a flow distance, as measured by ISO 8619:2003, from 20 mm to 150 mm;
- (b) shaping the at least one granulated mixture into at least one shaped body;
- and
- (c) firing the at least one shaped body.
An article comprising a composite comprising graphite, wherein the composite has a total pore volume and a pore size distribution, measured according to ASTM C830-00(2016) Standard, wherein at least 95 percent of the total pore volume is contained in pores with a diameter of less than 1 μm, and at least 40 percent of the pore volume of the pores having a diameter of less than 1 μm is contained in pores having a diameter of less than 0.1 μm.
