A
non-graphitic carbon which cannot be transformed into
graphitic carbon solely by high-temperature treatment up to
under atmospheric pressure or lower pressure.
Note:
The term non-graphitizable is limited to the result of heat treatment without additional
influence of foreign matter or
neutron radiation. Non-
graphitizable carbon can be transformed into
graphitic carbon by a high-temperature process via intermediate
dissolution in foreign matter and
precipitation under high pressure or by radiation damage.
