UHP Graphite Electrodes
Graphite electrode is made of high quality calcined petroleum coke, imported needle coke and modified coal asphalt, the grade are RP, HD(impregnation), HP and UHP graphite electrodes, the specification is Ø75-700mm.
Graphite electrode has the advantages of low resistivity, high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, good oxidation resistance,good thermal shock resistance, high mechanical strength,easy to machine,etc. Graphite electrode is widely used to smelt the steel, alloy steel and other metal or nonmetal material in electric arc furnace.
Ultra high power graphite electrodes are used for conducting electricity in high-precision steelmaking electric arc furnaces. High quality needle coke is used as the raw material, and after three immersion and four firing processes, the graphite electrode has a lower resistivity, smaller expansion coefficient, greater allowable current load, and strong physical bending resistance.
