Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

Consideration is given to the results for carbon melting under the conditions of electric-arc heating. An experimental scheme is realized, where a graphite specimen, which is one of the electrodes, is heated from below. It is shown that the equilibrium pressure of carbon vapor, which provides a reliable melting of the graphite specimen under steady conditions, is not higher than 0.2 MPa.
