Abstract
Advantages of applying high-temperature strain gages to carbon materials such as conglomerates of aluminum-reduction-cell cathodes and graphite for models of the cathodes or for nuclear reactors are shown. Tests on graphite and carbon conglomerate specimens, to which strain gages have been applied, are related. From these tests it is possible to obtain apparent strain, thermal hysteresis, drift, creep and mechanical hysteresis of strain gages. Test results for carbon specimens are compared with those of similar tests on stain-less-steel specimens with gages from the same lot.
