The object of this is to compare the various properties of domestic graphite crucibles with those of the English Morgan's.
Chemical analysises were carried out in oder to reveal the content of carbon in these crucibles together with the chemical composition of their ashes, .
Load test and thermal expansion test at high temperature were also performed. The speeds of combustion in some ten specimens of natural graphites were measured, while the consuming property of graphite crucibles by oxidation were also investigated.
Brief results are as follows. Domestic P.L. crucibles are excellent in heat coductivity, but they are inferior to the English Morgan's in the consuming property by oxidation.In other physical and mechanical properties, the domestic graphite crucibles were seem to be inferior also.
To make them sufficient improvements, it is desirable to study the bonding materials from the view-points of ceramic engineering.
