Compared with large industries such as machinery, automobiles, electronics and electrical engineering, mining and metallurgy, railways, and transportation, the carbon industry is a small industry, but it occupies an important position and plays an important role in the development of the national economy in China. According to China's first five-year plan, 156 large-scale projects were newly built, of which the carbon industry accounted for two projects. For example, the development of the steel industry cannot be separated from carbon materials and products, especially electric furnaces for smelting alloy steel, which must have graphitized electrodes. Electrolytic aluminum production requires the consumption of 400-450kg of carbon anodes for each ton produced. In addition to ordinary civilian industries, carbon fiber composite materials have a wide range of applications in aviation, aerospace, nuclear energy, military and other fields, such as high specific strength, light weight, an
The basic process of carbon material production includes: pre-treatment (pre crushing, calcination, or drying) of carbon raw materials, crushing, grinding, and screening grading of carbon raw materials, proportioning of carbon raw materials, addition of molten dehydrated binder and kneading, forming of paste after kneading, and roasting of formed green billets. In order to improve the density and strength of products, high-pressure impregnation and secondary roasting cycle densification treatment are carried out on the roasted billets, The graphitization of roasted products involves mechanical processing of carbon and graphite products.Why are the quality indicators of high-power and ultra-high-power graphite electrodes superior to ordinary power graphite electrodes?The current density of graphite electrodes used in high-power and ultra-high-power electric furnaces significantly increases, resulting in the following problems: (1) due to resistance heat and hot airflow, the temperature
Carbon graphite material is a powder structure material similar to refractory materials and concrete. Except for non-ferrous brushes and mechanical metal graphite products, which are formed as a whole with a certain strength by phase transformation of metal powder at sintering temperature, the powder particles of typical carbon graphite materials cannot spontaneously bond together even at high temperatures. In order for them to bond into a whole with a certain shape and strength, a certain amount of substance that can bond carbon powder particles or fibrous fine substances into a whole must be added, and this substance is called a binder.The conditions that the adhesive should meet:1) The adhesive should be able to mix with the main material to form a plastic substance.2) The binder becomes a viscous liquid within an appropriate temperature range. And it can have good adhesion and adsorption with the particles of the main material, and has a large adsorption force.3) The binder should
(1) The organizational structure of carbon materials is formed by the preparation of carbon solid aggregate particles and powder raw materials through a series of production processes, so its cutting is composed of a certain number of particles and dust. The large amount of carbon dust generated during the cutting process not only pollutes the operating environment and affects the health of operators, but also the silicon carbide impurities contained in graphite dust can cause certain wear and tear on machine tool components. Therefore, efficient ventilation and dust removal equipment must be installed in the mechanical processing workshop of carbon materials.(2) Carbon material is a heterogeneous and brittle material, with a considerable range of hardness fluctuations. Roasted carbon products have a high hardness, which makes processing more difficult. Graphite products have a low hardness, making them easy to cut and process. The surface roughness of products processed with carbon m
In the development history of China's carbon material industry, the management scope is mainly divided according to the application direction and distribution system of carbon materials. There are roughly the following types of carbon material production enterprises:(1) A carbon material enterprise that produces graphite electrodes, graphite anodes, carbon blocks for metallurgical furnaces, and self baking electrodes primarily for the steel, metallurgical, and chemical industries. Its main products are graphite electrodes, graphite anodes, carbon blocks, and electrode paste for electric arc furnaces. The equipment and technology for producing graphite electrodes can also be used to produce high-strength, high-purity, and high-density graphite. These carbon materials have a wide range of applications in the nuclear industry, aerospace industry, and other industries.(2) Enterprises that produce carbon materials for power supply and aluminum electrolysis. The electrolytic aluminum indust
The current density of graphite electrodes used in high-power and ultra-high-power electric furnaces significantly increases, resulting in the following problems: (1) due to resistance heat and hot airflow, the temperature of the electrodes increases, resulting in an increase in the thermal expansion of the electrodes and joints, and an increase in the oxidation consumption of the electrodes; (2) The temperature difference between the center of the electrode and the outer circle of the electrode increases, and the thermal stress caused by the temperature difference also increases accordingly. The electrode is prone to cracking and surface peeling; (3) After the power of the electric furnace is increased, the electromagnetic force increases, causing severe vibration and increasing the probability of electrode breakage.Therefore, the physical and chemical properties of high-power and ultra-high-power graphite electrodes must be superior to ordinary power graphite electrodes, such as low
