I m interested in magnetic levitation devices and i need pyrolytic graphite as diamagnetic material and I want to make some because I don`t find to buy.
Know somebody which in procedure to make pyrolytic graphite from normal graphite used in batteries and is possible to heat graphite using welding machine

The wikipedia article says how it is made then figure out how to do that method.

<a href="http://lmgtfy.com/?q=united+nuclear+pyrolytic+graphite&l=1">United Nuclear</a> carries it. Good luck with the large quantities bit, though...

It's expensive because of the process involved in the manufacturing process. IIRC, pyrolytic graphite is made when hydrocarbons are heated to high temperatures and turn into hydrogen and methane and leave a coat of pure carbon residue on the reactor walls.

It's similar to the way nanotubes are made, both substances are pretty expensive.
