Graphite electrode

graphite electrode is a high-temperature resistant graphite conductive material made from petroleum coke and asphalt coke as granular materials and coal tar pitch as binder through processes such as pinching, molding, calcination, graphitization and mechanical processing. Graphite electrodes are important high-temperature conductive materials for electric furnace steelmaking. Electrical energy is input into the electric furnace through graphite electrodes, and the high temperature generated by the electric arc between the electrode tip and the charge is used as the heat source to melt the charge for steelmaking. Graphite electrodes are also commonly used as conductive materials in some other electric smelting or electrolytic equipment.  Taking advantage of the excellent physical and chemical properties of graphite electrodes, they are also widely used in other industrial sectors. The carbon products industry, which mainly produces graphite electrodes, has become an important part of the contemporary raw materials industry.
