Physical propenties such as elastic modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio, rupture modulus, and thermah expansion coefficients were determined for hot-pressed ZrC, graphite, and graphite-Z rC systems. The results indicate that the observsd increase in thermal shock resistance of carbide-graphite systems is caused by an incrsase in the strength to modulus of elasticity ratio with increasing graphite content. Spherical shapes of the carbide and composite bodies were fabricated for determining the relative thermal shock resistance for comparison with calculated values. (B.O.G.)
