Carbon fiber bundles may be dispersed into substantially single mono-filaments in pitch by stirring a mixture of fibers and pitch at a temperature at which the pitch has a viscosity of about 0.1 to about 5 poise. The resulting fiber pitch binder contains about 0.5 to about 10.0 wt. % carbon fibers substantially dispersed as substantially single mono-filaments which are randomly oriented which may then be used directly as a binder for producing carbon bodies, for example, graphite electrodes, pinstock or specialty graphite articles. This unique binder using an economical amount of carbon fibers has the capacity to increase the strength and reduce the coefficients of thermal expansion of the resulting carbon products in more than one direction due to the random orientation of the carbon fibers.

Carbon fiber binder pitch

A room temperature setting carbonaceous cement comprising a solid carbonaceous material, a catalyst, a liquid carbonizable component, and copper particles, which when treated with the catalyst will provide a carbon yield of at least 40% for the liquid component at an elevated baking temperature and possess increased flexural strength at elevated temperatures and reduced electrical resistance.

Room temperature setting carbonaceous cement with increased electrical

A pitch based impregnant for a carbon or graphite body and a method of impregnation. The method involves forming a liquid solution of a substantially solids free pitch having a Q.I. of less than 1% dissolved in furfural and containing an acid catalyst with the solution having a viscosity of less than 150 cps at room temperature and heating the impregnated body to between 150.degree.-200.degree. C. until the impregnant is cured.

Pitch based impregnant for carbon and graphite and method

Method for making a component, graphite component, such as a graphite crucible, for use in the production of silicon crystal growth from molten silicon wherein the graphite component has an outer coated layer of glassy carbon formed from a thermoset organic resin that prevents contamination of the molten silicon by carbon from the graphite component.

Method for making a graphite component covered with a layer of glassy

A room temperature setting carbonaceous cement comprising a solid carbonaceous material, a catalyst and a liquid carbonizable component, and a boron containing or phosphorus containing material, which when treated with the catalyst will possess increased oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures.

Room temperature setting carbonaceous cement with increased oxidation

A room temperature setting carbonaceous cement comprising a solid carbonaceous material, a catalyst and a liquid carbonizable component which when treated with the catalyst will provide a carbon yield of at least 40% at an elevated baking temperature and possess a flexural strength which is above at least 750 psi at room temperature and at said elevated temperature.

Room temperature setting carbonaceous cement

A plasticizer for use in the manufacture of pitch which forms a fluid at room temperature consisting essentially of a tar composed of low molecular weight and polymerized aromatic hydrocarbons having a molecular weight distribution characteristic which is bimodel. The plasticizer is formed by reacting a tar or distillate precursor with oxygen under controlled conditions of temperature and time.
