Abstract
The properties of synthetic graphite materials, widely used in advanced fields, are determined by their structure, which is formed in the process of high-temperature (~2500 ° C) heat treatment. The fine structure of a graphitizing carbon material based on petroleum coke containing 1.3 wt% S at various stages of graphitization was studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. Some of the samples contained the addition of dispersed Fe 2 O 3 . It is shown that the heat-treated material in the range 1200 ° C - 2600 ° C is heterogeneous, its component composition is determined by the processing temperature and the presence of Fe 2 O 3 additive. The observed dependence of the component composition on the heat treatment temperature suggests that the process of graphitization of the carbon material, apparently, develops through a number of metastable states.
