METHOD FOR TREATING GRAPHITE PRODUCT
Abstract
A method is described for treating a carbon body with a carbonyl consisting of nickel, iron, and mixtures thereof. The carbonyl is decomposed in a non-oxidizing atmosphere into a mixture of the metal and carbon monoxide on the surface of a carbon body heated to above the decomposition point of the carbonyl. The temperature is increased of the carbon body to an elevated temperature above the point at which a liquid eutectic mixture of the metal and carbon of the carbon body is formed at the surface and below that at which substantial carburization occurs. The elevated temperature is maintained whereby the liquid mixture flows over the surface of the carbon body. The carbon body is cooled below the decomposition temperature of the carbonyl of the metal and to a temperature suitable for forming the carbonyl of the metal. The carbon body is then contacted with carbon monoxide at the carbonyl-forming temperature, whereby carbonyl of the metal is formed in and on the carbon body. The carbonyl is removed from the carbon body by gasifying the carbonyl. (AEC)
