ARSTRACT (1) Some properties of graphite are discussed and industrial applications as a refractory are enumerated. (2) Previous work on graphite, particularly during the World War on graphite crucibles, is reviewed. That work was directed toward finding substitutes for imported graphites and clays. Since peace‐time conditions were restored the manufacturers have returned to foreign sources of raw materials and some reasons for this tendency are advanced (3) Analyses of several foreign and domestic graphites are tabulated (4) Reports are given on experiments on the thermal conductivity of clay‐graphite bodies.; with the effect of varying percentages of graphite on the conductivity.
