RP Graphite Electrode
Graphite electrode is made from domestic first-class petroleum coke and high quality needle coke and are widely used in electric arc furnaces for the production of alloy steels, metal, and other nonmetallic materials, etc. The Graphite electrodes include regular power, high power, ultra-high power, and square electrodes. The range of diameters covers from 250mm to 700mm.
Our products have the following characteristics: low electric resistivity, good electrical and thermal conductivity, high oxidation resistance, greater resistance to thermal and mechanical shock, high mechanical strength, and high machining accuracy.
Features
Higher purity and higher chemical stability;
Low thermal expansion coefficient and crack resistance;
Higher mechanical strength and lower resistivity;
Higher processing accuracy and good surface finish;
Lower consumption and longer service life.
Application
The application of ultra-high power UHP graphite electrodes in steelmaking is significant, particularly in electric arc furnaces (EAFs).
Graphite electrodes are mainly used in electric arc furnace steelmaking, the working principle of graphite electrodes in steel refining involves generating high temperatures through an electric arc, melting the metal at the furnace’s base, and facilitating critical chemical reactions such as decarburization and alloying to produce high-quality steel.
In various metallurgical applications, UHP graphite electrodes are utilized in electric furnace smelting processes for alloy preparation and the production of non-ferrous metals.
