The Main Uses of Graphite Electrodes - Graphite Electrode Manufacturer
Graphite electrodes are mainly divided into ordinary power graphite electrodes, high power graphite electrodes, impregnated graphite electrodes, high bulk graphite electrodes, and ultra high power graphite electrodes. Due to its thermal and electrical properties, it is widely used in various industries. The main uses of graphite electrodes are as follows. Uses of Graphite Electrodes First, for electric arc steelmaking furnace Graphite electrodes are mainly used in electric furnace steelmaking. Electric furnace steelmaking uses graphite electrodes to introduce current into the furnace. A strong current generates an arc discharge through the gas at the lower end of the electrode, and uses the heat generated by the arc to perform smelting. According to the capacity of the electric furnace, graphite electrodes with different diameters are used. In order to make the electrodes continuously used, the electrodes are connected by electrode screw joints. Graphite electrod...
