Title: Mechanism of density decrease in heat-treated glass-like carbon (GC)

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5508652

Measurements were made of the density decrease (pycnometric), mass loss, hydrogen loss, dimensional increase and thermal expansion (dilatomeric) of glassy carbon heated in the range 1000/sup 0/C to 2800/sup 0/C or stressed (hydrostatic pressures) to 250,000 psi. The irreversibility density decrease is attributed to thermal expansion mismatch (..cap alpha../sub c/ >> ..cap alpha../sub a/) and microscopic fracture.
