JB/T 4220-2011 in English

Determination method of artificial graphite lattice parameter

1 Scope

This standard specifies the principle, internal standard materials, instruments, specimen preparation, test conditions, test steps, processing and calculation of test results and test report for determination of artificial graphite lattice parameter by X-ray powder diffraction method (diffractometer method).

The method is applicable to artificial graphite with high graphitization degree after high temperature heat treatment (such as graphite for artificial diamond).

3 Principle

3.1 The graphitization degree of artificial graphite is a physical quantity and is usually measured by the size of the lattice parameter and expressed in the symbol PB.

3.2 The artificial graphite lattice parameter is defined in 3.2.1 to 3.2.4.

3.2.1 c0(002): The c-axis length of the artificial graphite unit cell obtained from C(002) diffracted ray.

3.2.2 c0(004): The c-axis length of the artificial graphite unit cell obtained from C(004) diffracted ray.

3.2.3 a0(110): The a-axis length of the artificial graphite unit cell obtained from C(110) diffracted ray.

3.2.4 d112: The interplanar spacing d of the artificial graphite unit cell (112) obtained from C(112) diffracted ray.

3.3 The C(002), C(004), C(110) and C(112) diffraction patterns are recorded by an automatic X-ray diffractometer, the corresponding diffraction angle 2θCs is calculated by chord midpoint method, the respective diffraction angle 2θCj is calculated by internal standard method, and the corresponding artificial graphite lattice parameters c0(002), c0(004), a0(110) and d112 are obtained from the table. In addition, the graphitization degree PB is calculated using an equation from the lattice parameter c0(004).

4 Internal standard materials

Monocrystalline silicon powder (spectroscopically pure). Grind it with an agate mortar, and take the silicon powder passing through the 325-mesh (45μm) standard sieve as the internal standard materials for X-ray diffraction.

5 Instruments

Automatic X-ray diffractometer, using Cu-target X-ray tube.

6 Specimen preparation

6.1 Sampling method and sample size are subject to product standards.

6.2 Wipe the surface of the artificial graphite test block to be tested with alcohol cotton.

6.3 Crush the artificial graphite test block to be tested into powder with a hacksaw blade (or steel file) and let the powder pass through a 200-mesh (76μm) standard sieve. Take this powder as the specimen, and grind it with an agate mortar in case of too coarse grains.
