Consideration is given to the results for carbon melting 
under the conditions of electric-arc heating. An experimental scheme 
is realized, where a graphite specimen, which is one of the electrodes, 
is heated from below. It is shown that the equilibrium pressure of 
carbon vapor, which provides a reliable melting of the graphite specimen 
under steady conditions, is not higher than 0.2 MPa.
