Abstract
Abstract Shaped graphitic or graphite-like carbonaceous bodies are produced by forming binder-coated particles of a carbonaceous filler in a slurry, shaping the slurry or paste of the particles to the desired configuration, drying and cokefying the shaped body. The system is suitable for the production of graphitic structures for use in high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactors, as casting molds and the like. The present invention starts with the assumption that binder-coated filler particles are available, the particles having been coated uniformly (e.g. as described in our application Ser. No. 267,480).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
A method of making a graphitic body from carbonaceous filler particles selected from the group which consists of petroleum coke, electrographite, natural graphite and carbon black, coated with a binder selected from the group which consists of phenol-formaldehyde resin, pitch and tar, comprising the steps of: a. forming a paste or slurry of the binder-coated filler particles in a carrier liquid containing 5% to 20% by volume of a solvent for said binder, said binder being at most slightly soluble in said liquid; b. introducing said paste or slurry into a mold wherein said paste or slurry is shaped without the application of pressure; c. drying the paste in said mold to form a shaped body therein; and d. cokefying said body.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
122 words
A method of making a graphitic body from carbonaceous filler particles selected from the group which consists of petroleum coke, electrographite, natural graphite and carbon black, coated with a binder selected from the group which consists of phenol-formaldehyde resin, pitch and tar, comprising the steps of: a. forming a paste or slurry of the binder-coated filler particles in a carrier liquid containing 5% to 20% by volume of a solvent for said binder, said binder being at most slightly soluble in said liquid; b. introducing said paste or slurry into a mold wherein said paste or slurry is shaped without the application of pressure; c. drying the paste in said mold to form a shaped body therein; and d. cokefying said body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
49 words
The method defined in claim 1 wherein said binder is a phenol-formaldehyde resin, said solvent is methanol and said liquid is water, said paste or slurry being dried at a temperature of about 105° C to form said body, said body being cokefied at a temperature above 800° C.
