This article examines the effect of the structural parameters of isotropic and anisotropic pitch cokes that change with an increase in graphitization temperature on these cokes’ reactivity in relation to a silicon melt. The graphitization temperature at which the siliconized material is completely impregnated and contains the maximum amount of silicon carbide is determined for both cokes.
