Abstract
PREVIOUS work on the mechanical properties of pyro-lytic carbon has been confined to massive deposits laid down on stationary formers1,2. Such deposits have a limited range of structure. An alternative preparation technique, developed primarily for coating nuclear fuel particles, involves the use of a fluidized bed3. Recent work on pyrolytic carbon deposited in a fluidized bed at 1,200°–2,100° C has shown that a very wide range of structures can be prepared by varying the deposition conditions. In general, these deposits are structurally different from massive deposits. The purpose of this communication is to demonstrate how the mechanical properties of pyrolytic carbon deposited in a fluidized bed depend on its structure.
