Graphite electrode is a conductor that releases electrical energy in the form of an electric arc to heat and melt the charge. The main raw material for graphite electrode production is petroleum coke. Ordinary power graphite electrodes can be added with a small amount of pitch coke. The sulfur content of petroleum coke and pitch coke cannot exceed 0.5%. Rongsheng graphite electrode manufacturer provides RP graphite electrodes for sale in South Africa. For more detailed information about graphite electrodes, please continue reading.
RP Graphite Electrodes for Sale
First of all, the raw materials selected for the production of graphite electrodes.
The production of RP graphite electrodes for sale can be used as raw materials for petroleum coke. Produce HP graphite electrodes, using high-quality petroleum coke and needle coke. To produce UHP graphite electrodes, it must use high-quality needle coke as raw materials. To produce high-purity graphite electrodes, a very low ash content petroleum coke is required. In order to improve the lubricity and plasticity of the paste, and to improve the electrical conductivity of the product, a part of graphite chips is also added to the production of graphite electrodes.
Choose a batch of raw materials required for the production of graphite electrodes, and then go through a series of production processes, which may take more than 90 days, and finally complete the production of a batch of graphite electrodes. If you want the finished RP graphite electrode for sale to reach the customer’s hands smoothly, you also need to understand the precautions for transporting the graphite electrode.
Secondly, the matters needing attention when transporting graphite electrodes.
From the Rongsheng graphite electrode manufacturer, Long-distance vehicles transporting graphite electrodes for sale should be covered with a rain-proof tarp to prevent the electrodes from getting wet. When lifting or transporting the graphite electrode, care should be taken to prevent the graphite electrode from being damaged by tilting or slipping. In order to protect the ends and threads of the graphite electrode, the electrode cannot be directly hung with an iron hook. Finally, when loading and unloading the joint box, handle it gently. Prevent the joints from bumping, causing thread damage, and reducing the service life of the graphite electrode.
Rongsheng RP graphite electrode for sale is transported to the customer’s production site or warehouse, and then it can wait to enter the customer’s actual production.
Application of RP Graphite Electrode for Sale
(1) Used in an electric arc steelmaking furnace. Graphite electrode used in steelmaking as an electrode material accounts for about 70-80% of the total consumption of graphite electrodes in China. Electric furnace steelmaking uses research graphite electrodes to introduce working current into the furnace. The powerful current at the lower end of the electrode can generate arc discharge through these gas environments, and use the heat generated by the arc to smelt.
(2) Used in a submerged electric furnace. The submerged electric furnace is mainly used to produce ferroalloys, pure silicon, yellow phosphorus, calcium carbide, and matte. Its production feature is that the lower part of the conductive electrode is buried in the charge. Therefore, in addition to the heat generated by the arc between the electric plate and the charge, heat is also generated by the resistance of the charge when the current passes through the charge.
(3) For resistance furnace. In the production process, the graphitization furnace for graphite material products, the melting furnace for melting glass, and the electric furnace for producing silicon carbide are all resistance furnaces. The material in the resistance furnace is both a heating resistor and an object to be heated.
In the actual graphite electrodes uses, there are some details that need attention.
Detailed Requirements for the Use of Graphite Electrodes
The graphite electrode should be kept dry before use. Check whether the internal thread of the electrode hole is complete. If there is dust falling, you need to use a compressed air gun to clean the surface of the graphite electrode and the internal thread of the hole. There must be no oil or water on the surface of the graphite electrode. Avoid cleaning the graphite electrode with steel wire or metal brush cloth.
In the use of graphite electrodes, it is important to carefully screw the graphite electrode connector into the electrode hole of the graphite electrode. When lifting the electrode, the buffer pad is placed on the bottom of one end of the electrode connector to prevent ground damage. It is also necessary to prevent collisions during fixation.
When installing graphite electrodes on the top of the electric furnace, the spare graphite electrode needs to be hoisted above the electrode to be connected, aligned with the electrode hole, and then slowly dropped. Rotate the spare electrode to make the spiral hook rotate and drop together with the electrode. When the electrode is completely put down at the end, the force of the rotating electrode should not be too strong. Otherwise, it is easy to cause a violent collision of the electrode hole and damage the joint thread.
The consumption of graphite electrodes during use is also inevitable. How to reduce unnecessary consumption is a key factor in saving production costs.
