Preferred Label : graphitization heat treatment;
IUPAC definition : A process of heat treatment of a non-graphitic carbon industrially performed at temperatures
in the range between 2500 and 3300 K, to achieve transformation into graphitic carbon.;
Scope note : the term graphitization heat treatment does not include information as to the crystallinity
achieved by the heat treatment, that is the extent of transformation into graphitic
carbon or the degree of graphitization. only for such a transformation into graphitic
carbon should the term graphitization be used. consequently: the common use of the
term graphitization for the heat treatment process only, regardless of the resultant
crystallinity, is incorrect and should be avoided.;
