Acheson graphite

…In 1896, American EG Acheson investigated a furnace used to manufacture silicon carbide (SiC), and discovered that SiC decomposed and produced graphite in the hottest part of the furnace. This led him to think of producing artificial graphite using an electric arc furnace. For this reason, artificial graphite is also called Acheson graphite. There are different manufacturing methods depending on the application, but to make molded products, the raw carbon material (amorphous carbon such as coke, anthracite, and carbon black) is crushed and sieved. …
