[実施例]
上記した製造方法で製造された黒鉛電極(各寸法規格の製品)について、ニップルの小径端側の有効径d、ソケットの小径端側の有効径D、小径端における有効径差、ニップル側テーパ角度、ソケット側テーパ角度、およびテーパ角度差を下記表1、表2のように製造した。これらニップルの小径端側の有効径d、ソケットの小径端側の有効径D、ニップル側テーパ角度、およびソケット側テーパ角度、の各数値はゲージを用いて測定した実測値である。また、ニップルの小径端側の有効径dの最大値又は最小値を取る箇所と、ソケットの小径端側の有効径Dの最大値又は最小値を取る箇所と、は通常一致しない。このため、ソケットの小径端側の有効径Dの最大値から、ニップルの小径端側の有効径dの最大値を減算したものが、小径端における有効径差の最大値とはなっていない。
直径方向CTE(Coefficient of Thermal Expansion)差、すなわちポールの直径方向に関するポールの線膨張係数から、ニップルの直径方向に関するニップルの線膨張係数を減算した値を以下のように設定した。なお、ポールおよびニップルの線膨張係数は、その体積抵抗率と正の相関があることが知られている。線膨張係数に対応する線膨張係数を予め取得して実験的検量線を作成しておき、体積抵抗率を測定することでポールおよびニップルの線膨張係数を計測できる。
寸法規格24×110 - 24T4Wのポールおよびニップルの有効径差およびテーパ角度差と、緩め/締めトルク比と、の関係を評価した。ポールに対するニップルの締結作業、ポールからニップルを緩める緩め作業、および緩め/締めトルク比の計測作業は、CIS製電極接続機を用いた。
