Abstract
ALTHOUGH processes of hot-working are attractive as a means of reducing the porosity and permeability of graphite, the results of measurements of some of the other physical properties are disappointing1,2. For example, bodies hot-worked in compression show some increase in compressive strength parallel to the direction of hot-working, but this gain is offset by a decrease in strength in the perpendicular direction. Although appreciable reductions in the porosity and permeability have been attained, attempts to reduce these properties to negligible values by hot-working to high strain-levels have not been successful.
