The Young's and shear moduli of arc‐cast zirconium carbide‐graphite alloys were measured as a function of graphite content and were found to depend strongly on the microstructure of the alloys. Attempts to fit several theoretical analyses to the data were unsuccessful. The simplified physical models from which these analyses were derived limit their usefulness in predicting elastic behavior for materials having complex microstructures.
