.~.~.~ Controlling varying temperature or plural heating steps
DEFINITION
Classification: 423/447.8
(under subclass 447.1) Processes wherein a carbonizing reaction is carried out by (1) varying the temperature over a given time span or by (2) heating to two or more distinct temperatures.
(1) Note. Heating to cure binder or dry is not considered a carbonizing reaction without positive disclosure that carbonizing occurs under those conditions.
(2) Note. Heating a temperature to cause a change in crystalline form of the carbon (e.g., graphitizing) is considered a step of carbonizing for this subclass.
