Buying It?[edit]
Where is a good place (good value for money\quality) to buy this materal? Alan2here 14:54, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- For flat sheets for magnetic levitation and directional thermal conductivity experiments, try scitoys.com -> [1]. Levitates pretty good, average quality. Random pencil lead and welding rod sometimes works good. --Splarka (rant) 08:11, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone know when it was invented? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.152.200.205 (talk) 17:15, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
There are a few links that can help in finding more information about the inventors : https://www.google.co.in/patents/US6075701?dq=pyrolytic+graphite&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CBwQ6AEwAGoVChMI2ePS17KVyQIVxo6OCh0WIAg8 https://www.google.co.in/patents/US3317338?dq=pyrolytic+graphite&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCMQ6AEwAWoVChMI2ePS17KVyQIVxo6OCh0WIAg8 https://www.google.co.in/patents/US4968527?dq=pyrolytic+graphite&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCoQ6AEwAmoVChMI2ePS17KVyQIVxo6OCh0WIAg8 [Source : Google]
Serious inaccuracy[edit]
I'm not qualified to write the article, but pyrolitic graphite was redirected to pyrolytic carbon. I have been told, THEY ARE NOT THE SAME.
One is diamagnetic, the other is not. One has single cleavage, the other does not.71.197.109.65 (talk) 01:31, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
levitating[edit]
Right or not:[2] ? --Itu (talk) 07:59, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
Role of anisotropy[edit]
Strongly diamagnetic materials, however, can be used for levitation above powerful magnets.
Does the strong anisotropy of the magnetic susceptibility in the case of pyrolytic carbon play a role in stabilizing the levitation? Or is it simply the (strong) diamagnetism?

Insufficient material properties[edit]
It is used in high temperature applications such as missile nose cones, rocket motors, heat shields, laboratory furnaces, in graphite-reinforced plastic, coating nuclear fuel particles, and in biomedical prostheses.
This is stated in the lead, without having given a single statement of the material's exceptional physical properties, leaving the reader to induce backwards (melting point, toughness, hardness, thermal conductivity, heat of ablation could all be implicated). — MaxEnt 23:24, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
