Thermal resistance and fracture toughness of structural carbon materials

  • 1. State Research Institute of Graphite-Based Structural Materials, Moscow (Russian Federation)

Description

The major physical properties of structural carbon materials (SCMs) - thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, as well as compression, bending, and tensile strengths - are mainly determined by two factors: the degree of crystal perfection and overall porosity. Thus, the macroproperties are interrelated, which allows the evaluation of some properties using others that are easier to determine. As was shown, these relationships between the properties also hold in irradiated graphite. In this case, the secondary swelling of SCMs, characteristic of intensive irradiation, contributes additionally to the increase in porosity as a result of the deterioration of the material; that is, there is a relationship between the irradiation-induced size changes and the physical properties
