Abstract
Davidson and Losty1 have proposed a logarithmic equation to describe the creep behaviour of synthetic graphites in the temperature-range 1,300–2,000° C. Analysis of results obtained at this laboratory by Martens, Jaffe and Button2,3 indicates that this equation also gives a good description of graphite creep at higher temperatures, up to 3,000° C. However, there are appreciable differences in the relation of creep to temperature and stress in the two temperature ranges.
