Key points of graphite electrode processing

Application and performance of graphite electrode

Graphite electrode is a kind of high temperature resistant graphite conductive material. Do you know the purpose and performance of graphite electrode?

Classification of graphite electrode: ordinary power graphite electrode (RP); High power graphite electrode (HP); Quasi high power graphite electrode (SHP); Higher power graphite electrode (UHP).

(1) For electric arc steelmaking furnace

Graphite electrode material can be mainly used in electric furnace steelmaking. Electric furnace steelmaking uses the research graphite electrode to introduce working current into the furnace. The strong current at the lower end of the electrode can affect the arc discharge through these gas environments, and smelting is carried out by using the heat generated by the arc. The capacitance is equipped with graphite electrodes with different diameters and can be used continuously against the connection between electrode joints and electrodes. Graphite as electrode material for steelmaking accounts for about 70 ~ 80% of the total amount of graphite electrode in China.
