GRAPHITIZATION FURNACE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a graphitization furnace which facilitates control of electrification in heating and thereby prevents occurrence of variation of the quality of a product (graphite) obtained.SOLUTION: A graphitization furnace includes a first electrode and a second electrode opposing the first electrode and heats a to-be-treated object arranged between the first and second electrodes by electrifying between the first and second electrodes. An electrification heating heat generator is provided each in the surfaces of the first and second electrodes opposing mutually, and an electrification heat treatment part for subjecting a formed conductive object to an electrification heat treatment for graphitization is provided between the electrification heating heat generator on the side of the first electrode and the electrification heating heat generator on the side of the second electrode. 【課題】加熱の際の通電制御を容易にし、これによって得られる製品（黒鉛）に品質のばらつきが生じるのを防止した、黒鉛化炉を提供する。【解決手段】第１電極と、第１電極に対向して配置された第２電極とを備え、第１電極と第２電極との間に通電することでこれら第１電極と第２電極との間に配置した被処理物を加熱し、黒鉛化する黒鉛化炉である。第１電極および第２電極の互いに対向する面に、それぞれ通電加熱発熱体を設けた。第１電極側の通電加熱発熱体と第２電極側の通電加熱発熱体との間に、成形された導電性の被処理物に通電加熱処理して黒鉛化するための通電加熱処理部を設けた。【選択図】図１
