What is the carbon electrode slurry?What is the difference from electrode paste?

Time : 12/09/2024

Carbon electrode slurry is a suspension made of conductive carbon particles dispersed in a solvent. It has good electrical conductivity and stability. The graphic film layer prepared after screen printing, heating and curing can play a protective and conductive role.Carbon electrode pastes are widely used in electronic component packaging, electrodes and interconnection fields, such as membrane switches, flexible circuits, medical electronics, communication equipment, automotive electronics and electromagnetic shielding.Its low cost, high cost performance, and stable performance.

electrode paste

The electrode paste, also known as self-baking electrode, is a conductive material used in electric furnace equipment such as ferroalloy furnaces and calcium carbide furnaces.It relies on the heat in the mine heat furnace to complete the roasting, and matching the consumption speed of the electrode with the roasting speed is the key to the use of electrode paste.There are differences between electrode paste and carbon electrode paste in the following aspects:

Use and working environment: Electrode paste is mainly used as a conductive material in electric furnace equipment, while carbon electrode paste is more widely used in electronic components and other fields.The working environment and usage requirements of the two are different.

Preparation materials and technology: The electrode paste is mainly made of a mixture of coal asphalt, aggregate and binder, and is prepared by molding, roasting and other processes.The carbon electrode slurry is a suspension formed by the dispersion of conductive carbon particles in a solvent, and its preparation process is relatively simple.

Physical and chemical properties: Electrode pastes usually have high specific resistance and ash content, while carbon electrode pastes have good electrical conductivity and stability.In addition, the electrode paste will emit a large amount of asphalt flue gas during use, which may cause pollution to the environment; while the carbon electrode paste has good acid, alkali and solvent corrosion resistance.

Performance requirements: Due to the special working environment of the electrode paste in the electric furnace, its performance requirements are mainly concentrated in terms of electrical conductivity, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.The carbon electrode slurry pays more attention to properties such as conductivity, adhesion and anti-peeling properties.

In summary, there are significant differences between carbon electrode pastes and electrode pastes in terms of use, preparation materials, technology, physical and chemical properties, and performance requirements.When choosing to use it, you need to choose according to specific application scenarios and needs.
