A process of heat treatment of a and , to achieve
non-graphitic carbon
industrially performed at temperatures in the range between transformation
into graphitic carbon
.Note:
The term
The term
graphitization
heat treatment does not include information as to the crystallinity
achieved by the heat treatment, that is the extent of transformation
into graphitic carbon
or the degree of graphitization
. Only for such a transformation
into graphitic carbon
should the term graphitization
be used. Consequently: the common use of the term graphitization
for the heat treatment process only, regardless of the resultant crystallinity
, is incorrect and should be avoided.
