Abstract
The nature of natural and industrial carbons is described, with some recommendations for designing components, in particular, methods which are available for processing final articles to size without machining. Typical applications are briefly reviewed subdivided under the following headings: mechanical applications; electrical applications; and other industrial applications (in this section the various commercial forms of carbon are also reviewed). The paper concludes with a review of several new forms of carbon which have come into the market in the last few years.
