How to Optimize the Output Power of Graphite Electrodes?

Sep. 12, 2020

As a Graphite Electrodes Solutions Supplier, share with you. Even though each graphite electrode material is the most advanced equipment and has an optimal control and management system, we still need to operate according to the production conditions and actual working conditions of the enterprise. Therefore, people have always been committed to the optimization of the output power of graphite electrodes. Graphite electrodes are mainly made of petroleum coke and needle coke as raw materials, coal tar pitch as a binder, and are made by calcination, batching, kneading, pressing, roasting, graphitization, and machining. It releases electric energy in the form of an electric arc in an electric arc furnace. The conductors used for heating and melting the charge can be classified into ordinary power, high power and ultra-high power according to their quality indicators. Graphite electrodes mainly include four types of ordinary power graphite electrodes, anti-oxidation coating graphite electrodes, high power graphite electrodes and ultra-high power graphite electrodes. Graphite block is a kind of artificial graphite, and artificial graphite is made by artificial heating of coke products. Generally, if it is purified to make high-purity or carbon fiber, the added value is high.

Graphite rods are often used as electric heating elements in high-temperature vacuum furnaces. The maximum operating temperature can reach 3000℃. It is easy to oxidize at high temperatures. Except for vacuum, it can only be used in a neutral or reducing atmosphere. Its thermal expansion coefficient is small, thermal conductivity is large, resistivity is (8~13)×10-6 Ω·m, processability is better than SiC, MoSi2 rod, high temperature resistance, extreme cold and extreme heat resistance, good price Cheaper. Graphite electrode steelmaking has evolved from a low-cost training method that can only produce steel for a few commercial grades, to a practical skill that can produce steel for various risk levels and quality and continue to innovate and develop.

Like every steel plant is different-detailed production conditions, such as transportation conditions and dynamic conditions, are different for every graphite electrode. Operators aim to meet specific process standards, so they choose their own way to adapt to local specialties or market conditions. This does not mean that there is no view of graphite electrodes for steelmaking. On the contrary, the designers of graphite electrodes have now developed a variety of graphite electrodes to improve graphite electrodes for steelmaking, many of which are now equipped or operating.
