Abstract

Abstract The carbonized behavior of binders (carbores pitch, mesophase pitch, high temperature pitch and phenolic resins) was investigated. Meanwhile, the influence of binders, Ni-catalyst and heat treatment on structure and properties of low carbon Al 2 O 3 -C materials was researched. Mesophase pitch and high molecular weight resin provided higher carbon yield. The synergistic interaction of pitch and phenolic resin provided the higher carbon yield than that of single component. Ni-catalyst changed structure and morphology of bonded carbon promoting the transition of amorphous carbon to crystalline carbon increasing carbon yield and degree of graphitization. High molecular weight phenolic resins, mesophase or carbores pitch and Ni-catalyst worked together providing low carbon Al 2 O 3 -C samples of excellent strength performance in a wide temperature range and high resistance of thermal shock. Embedding coke in N 2 could promote the generating of carbon fibers which obviously enhanced thermal shock resistance of low carbon (6% flake graphite) Al 2 O 3 -C materials after heat treatment.
