Graphite electrodes prepared by using carbon black as a filler material and phenolic resin as a binder. The samples treated thermally within temperature rang of 750-950)c for two and three hours . the variation in electrical resistivity and structural properties as a function of the two variables were studied . electrical resistivity decreased with increasing treatment temperature and time. Increasing temperature resulting in graphitization degree increasing ,also the inter atomic distance comparing to the standard values decreased with increasing treatment temperature and time of treatment.
