(1) Graphite electrodes are mainly made from petroleum coke and needle coke as raw materials, and coal tar pitch as a binder. They are made by calcination, batching, kneading, pressing, roasting, graphitization, and machining. They are conductors that release electrical energy in the form of an arc in an electric arc furnace to heat and melt the furnace material. According to their quality indicators, they can be divided into ordinary power, high power, and ultra-high power. Graphite electrodes include:
(1) Ordinary power graphite electrode. Allowing the use of graphite electrodes with a current density below 17A/cm2, mainly used for ordinary power electric furnaces such as steelmaking, silicon smelting, and yellow phosphorus smelting.
(2) Anti oxidation coated graphite electrode. A graphite electrode coated with an antioxidant protective layer on the surface forms a protective layer that is both conductive and resistant to high-temperature oxidation, reducing electrode consumption during steelmaking.
(3) High power graphite electrode. Allowing the use of graphite electrodes with a current density of 18-25A/cm2, mainly used in high-power electric arc furnaces for steelmaking.
(4) Ultra high power graphite electrode. It is allowed to use graphite electrodes with a current density greater than 25A/cm2. Mainly used for ultra-high power steelmaking arc furnaces.
(2) Graphite Anodes
It is mainly made from petroleum coke as raw material and coal tar pitch as binder through calcination, batching, kneading, molding, roasting, impregnation, graphitization, and machining. Generally used as a conductive anode for electrolytic equipment in the electrochemical industry. Including:
(1) Various chemical anode plates.
(2) Various anode rods.
(3) Special graphite
Mainly made from high-quality petroleum coke as raw material, coal tar pitch or synthetic resin as binder, through raw material preparation, batching, kneading, pressing, crushing, remixing, shaping, multiple roasting, multiple immersion, purification, graphitization, and machining. Generally used in aerospace, electronics, and nuclear industries.
It includes spectral pure graphite, high-purity, high-strength, high-density, and pyrolytic graphite.
