Preferred Label : stress graphitization;
IUPAC definition : The solid-state transformation of non-graphitic carbon into graphite by heat treatment
combined with application of mechanical stress, resulting in a defined degree of graphitization
being obtained at a lower temperature and/or after a shorter time of heat treatment
than in the absence of applied stress.;
Scope note : stress graphitization may also occur in volume elements of a carbon body in the process
of heat treatment as a result of the action of internal residual or thermal stresses.;
Origin ID : S06052;
