The facts recorded in this division of the subject are pre-sented, because of the peculiar microstructun-s and physicalproperties observed. Silicon may be melted in a carbon container without intro-ducing carbon or silicon carbide. Fig. 37 shows the junctionformed between silicon and Acheson graphite under a mag-nification of 34 diameters. The dividing line is sharply defined,and the silicon is homogeneous in structure, showing no areasin relief, which are always seen when silicon carbide is present. Fig. 38 shows a cross-section of the tip of an arc electrodeused in fusing silicon. In this case the silicon was subjectedto a very high temperature, and the carbon to the action of.
