HP Graphite electrode
Graphite electrode is made from domestic petroleum coke and high quality imported needle coke.
It is divided into regular power, high power, super high power, ultra high power .
It is diameter ranges from 200 mm to 600mm.The height is between 1800 and 2400mm.
It has a round shape and a square shape.
The regular power graphite electrode is made from petroleum coke with a little pitch.
The high power graphite electrode is made from 70% petroleum coke and 30% imported needle coke.
The ultra high power graphite electrode is made from 100% imported needle coke.
Characteristics of graphite electrode:
low electric resistance
good electric and thermal conductivity
high oxidation resistance
greater resistance to thermal and mechanical shock
high mechanical strength
high machining accuracy
Application
It is widely used in arc furnace steelmaking.
It is used in the mine thermoelectric furnace for the production of ferroalloy, pure silicon, yellow phosphorus, copper ice, calcium carbide, etc.
It is used in resistance furnace.Graphite furnace, melting glass furnace and electric furnace for producing silicon carbide.

A wide range of graphite electrode dimensions and grades can be supplied to improve your furnace performance and reduce the steel melting costs from our factory.
The above collocated furnace type could be changed based on many factors, such as the current volume, transformer power, ect. If you have any demands, please feel free to contact me. Our engineers will assist you and provide relevant advice.
Our suggestions before connect the electrode:
A. Please check the inner thread of the electrode first. If the thread is not intact, please contact the sales staff to confirm whether the electrode could work properly.
B. Please clean the electrodes by compressed air first before connecting.
C. When the electrode is being wrung into the electrode hole on one end, the cushion could be prepared on the other end to avoid the nipple breakage.
