Title: Studies of coke texture using a computerized microscope for automatic image analysis: part 3

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6612519

A series of cokes covering a wide range of strengths was examined by 'field' and 'feature-analysis' methods and a satisfactory method was evolved to improve the structural characterization of coke by determining the maximum dimension of the larger pores. The results were analyzed in relation to the coke tensile strength in the light of accepted theories of brittle fracture. This method was used to consider the microstructure and porosity, and their relation to the mechanical properties of carbons and cokes.
