Furnace Graphite Electrode Introduction

Furnace graphite electrode is an important electrode material, widely used in high temperature electric furnaces in metallurgy, chemical industry, electric power industry and other industries, mainly for metal smelting and high temperature reactions.

Furnace graphite electrode manufacturing process

Graphite electrodes are made from natural graphite as the main raw material by processing, roasting and graphitization. It has such advantages, like high electrical conductivity, high temperature stability, chemical resistance and mechanical strength, and suitable for high temperature and high pressure environments.

The manufacturing process of graphite electrodes involves mixing raw materials, molding, object, graphitization, etc.. At the same time, the difference in the manufacturing process will affect the physical properties and service life of the electrode.

Application of graphite electrodes

Graphite electrodes are mainly used in high temperature smelting equipment, such as electric arc furnaces and induction furnaces for steelmaking, alloys, non-ferrous metals and other ores, as well as in electrochemical processes, such as electrolytic aluminum and electrolytic copper.

Classification of graphite electrodes

Graphite electrodes can be divided into different types depending on their use and size, such as ultra-high power graphite electrodes, high power graphite electrodes, graphite electrodes of regular power, etc.. They differ in electrical conductivity, resistance to high temperatures and service life.

Operating principle of furnace graphite electrodes

The working principle of graphite electrode is to use an arc between the end of the electrode and the steel material in the furnace to generate high temperature as a heat source to melt the furnace material to make steel.; in the same way, it can also be used to smelt various other metal raw materials.
