Abstract
COMMENT has previously been made about the remarkable anisotropy of properties of graphite such as the thermo-electric power1, the electrical resistivity2 and various other physical properties3. The development of techniques for preparing fairly large pieces of well-oriented graphite has opened the way for investigating other consequences of the anisotropy, some of which are particularly relevant for work at temperatures above 3,000° C. Two kinds of well-oriented graphite can be utilized as susceptor crucibles in induction furnaces designed to work under extremely clean conditions4.
