Discussion on Vibration Forming Method to Produce Graphite Electrode

Discussion on Vibration Forming Method to Produce Graphite Electrode

There are generally three molding methods used in the carbon industry, namely compression molding, extrusion molding, and vibration molding methods. Among them, the compression molding method is low due to labor productivity. At present, except for a small number of products with special requirements that use this molding method, the molding process in the carbon … Continue reading “Discussion on Vibration Forming Method to Produce Graphite Electrode”

Performance Index of Graphite Electrode Body and Nipple

Performance Index of Graphite Electrode Body and Nipple

The graphite electrode body needs the graphite electrode nipple to connect them one by one in series. Therefore, they also have certain connections and differences in performance indicators. The Performance Index Difference of Graphite Electrode Body and Nipple (1) Resistivity. The resistivity of ordinary power graphite electrode is not more than 8.5μΩ·m, 9.0μΩ·m, 10.0μΩ·m, and 10.5μΩ·m, and the … Continue reading “Performance Index of Graphite Electrode Body and Nipple”

What are the Differences of the Electrodes for Submerged Arc Furnaces?

What are the Differences of the Electrodes for Submerged Arc Furnaces?

The role of the electrode is to conduct electricity and convert electrical energy into heat. Electrodes are divided into three types: carbon electrodes, graphite electrodes, and self-baking electrodes according to their use and production process. In submerged arc furnaces, self-baking electrodes are mainly used, but when producing ferroalloy products with lower carbon content, such as … Continue reading “What are the Differences of the Electrodes for Submerged Arc Furnaces?”
