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?”
