What are graphite electrodes used for?

80% of the total sales of graphite electrodes are used as conductive materials in electric arc furnace steelmaking. Next, the Dan carbon graphite electrodes will introduce what the graphite electrodes are used for? Uses and properties of graphite electrodes. 1. What is the graphite electrode used for? Graphite electrode is a conductive electrode used in the electric furnace in the process of steelmaking in a medium-sized electric arc furnace. After passing electricity between the electrode and the charge or between the electrode and the electrode, an arc is generated to heat and smelt the scrap steel, similar to the lightning effect. The main raw materials for the production of graphite electrodes are petroleum coke and needle coke. Coal tar pitch is made as a binder through calcination, kneading, pressing, roasting, impregnation, graphitization and machining. The graphite electrode is divided into a body and a joint, and the joint production process requires three immersion and four b...
