Graphite electrode application
(1) Used in EAF
Electric furnace steelmaking is the largest use of graphite electrodes. Electric furnace steelmaking uses a graphite electrode to introduce a current into the furnace, and smelting is performed by a high-
temperature heat source generated by an arc between the electrode end and the charge.
(2) Used in electrical melting furnaces
The ore electric furnace is mainly used for the production of industrial silicon and yellow phosphorus, etc., in which the ore furnace with higher current density is required to use graphite electrode.
(3) For the preparation of shaped graphite products
The graphite electrode blank is also used to process a variety of shaped graphite products such as enamel, mold, boat and heating element.
