Characteristics of graphite electrode production

The production of graphite electrode is characterized by high thermal conductivity, high melting point, low resistance, high oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance.

1, high thermal conductivity

Graphite electrode has good thermal conductivity and can maintain stable thermal conductivity in high temperature environment. This enables graphite electrodes to effectively transfer heat in high temperature furnaces such as electric arc furnace steelmaking furnace and resistance furnace, and improves production efficiency.

2. High melting point

Graphite electrode has a high melting point and can maintain its structural stability at high temperature. This makes the graphite electrode can be used for a long time in high temperature environment, and improves its service life.

3, low resistance

Graphite electrode has low resistivity, which can effectively reduce current loss. This makes the graphite electrode in arc steelmaking furnace, resistance furnace and other equipment requiring high current improve energy utilization and reduce production cost.

4, high oxidation resistance

Graphite electrode is not easy to oxidize in high temperature environment and can maintain its excellent performance. This makes the graphite electrode can be used for a long time in high temperature environment, and improves its reliability.

5. Corrosion resistance

Graphite electrode has good corrosion resistance and can maintain its structural stability in strong corrosive environment. This enables the graphite electrode to be used for a long time in strong corrosive environment such as calcium carbide furnace and chlor-alkali, and improves its durability.
