【Coefficient of thermal expansion】
Aim of this work
For measurement of thermal expansion of
artificial graphite materials above 2000oC,
special electric furnace with the device
measuring specimen dimension has been
developed on the basis on JIS R2207.
“Idea of development” of thermal
expansion measurement device of
graphite materials at high
temperature
Material
For the measurement at the
temperature above 2000 degree-C,
we used “isotropic graphite” as
furnace heater and measurement jigs.
And also as the reference materials
for thermal expansion measurement
with contact method, isotropic
graphite was used.

Summary
 The development the measurement device of
thermal expansion of artificial graphite at high
temperature can be succeeded using isotropic
graphite, as heater, measurement jigs and the
reference materials
 Not only contact method, but also non-contact
method for the measurement of thermal expansion
can be adapted in the device.
 By introducing the non-contact method with LMG,
accurate thermal expansion can be measured up to
2400 oC.
Summary 2
 CIP isotropic graphite has three times larger
thermal expansion and CTE than Nipple electrode.
 In the case of Nipple electrode with strongly
anisotropic orientation, negative thermal
expansion at the temperature between 200~300
oC was observed with LMG.
 By the developed device, thermal shrinkage of
carbonized block can be observed at high
temperature above 1100 oC. Two steps of
shrinkage behavior against temperature was
observed.
