Activation energies for creep of pyrolytic and glassy carbon

Activation energies for creep of pyrolytic and glassy carbon

Abstract

IN an investigation of the high temperature (2,500° to 2,900° C) creep behaviour of glassy (vitreous) carbon, Fischbach1 obtained apparent activation energies for creep in the range 306 to 382 kcalories mol−1. These values are unexpectedly high for a non-graphitizing carbon with a disordered structure, especially when compared with the activation energies of 250 and 260 kcalories mol−1 reported earlier for pyrolytic carbon for creep2,3 and graphitization4, respectively. It is therefore appropriate to examine whether an important contribution to the activation energy may arise through the temperature dependence of the shear modulus5,6.
