Abstract Graphitization (1400° C–2200° C) of polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based carbon fiber in a
small furnace with direct electric heating by Joule effect was studied in situ by small angle X …

A small and simple device for the in-situ small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurement
of carbon fibers graphitization by direct electrical heating was developed. The graphitization …

Coking coal is an important raw material for coke production. In this study, in an inert
atmosphere, two Chinese coking coal samples were respectively heated gradually to 1200 …
