PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The graphite electrode is a high-temperature graphite conductive material, with a core of petroleum coke, tar coke as a filler, and coal tar as a binder. We produce and sell graphite electrodes and nipples to them. Based on quality, they are divided into ordinary power graphite electrodes, high power graphite electrodes, and ultra high power graphite electrodes.

The main raw material for graphite electrode production is petroleum coke. The ordinary power graphite electrode can be added with a small amount of pitch coke. The sulfur content of petroleum coke and pitch coke cannot exceed 0.5%. Needle coke is also required for the production of high power or ultra high power graphite electrodes. The main raw material for aluminum anode production is petroleum coke, and the control sulfur content is not more than 1.5% to 2%. Petroleum coke and pitch coke should meet the relevant national quality standards.

Ordinary graphite electrodes are designed for regular-power electric arc furnaces, widely adopted in steelmaking, silicon smelting and yellow phosphorus production.

Manufactured primarily from petroleum coke with coal tar pitch as the binder, some formulas add needle coke as raw material. The complete production workflow includes calcination, proportioning, kneading, forming, baking, graphitization and precision machining, with a total production cycle of around 45 days.

As key conductive components for arc metallurgical furnaces, Ordinary graphite electrodes generate electric arcs to heat and melt furnace burden for smelting all types of non-ferrous and rare metals. They support stable operation under current densities above 17 A/cm².

Diameters range from 100 mm to 960 mm to match various furnace tonnages.

Industrial Uses of Ordinary Graphite Electrodes:

Ordinary graphite electrodes are widely applied in electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking, metallurgical casting and other industrial scenarios. They are suitable for electric arc furnaces, ladle furnaces and submerged arc furnaces, as well as all melting processes that require high-temperature operating conditions and efficient electrical conductivity.

Ordinary graphite electrodes serve as stable conductive channels for current transmission inside electric arc furnaces. They enable precise control of temperature and current parameters throughout the smelting process, supporting accurate melting, refining and alloying of raw materials. Thanks to their uniform electrical conductivity and low thermal expansion coefficient, these electrodes deliver stable and reliable performance for conventional EAF steelmaking production.

It is worth noting that Ordinary graphite electrodes are exclusively designed for ordinary-power electric arc furnaces and are not applicable to high-power (HP) or ultra-high-power (UHP) furnace equipment. Different grades of graphite electrodes must be selected and matched according to the actual power parameters of electric furnaces to ensure optimal operating efficiency.
