EAF Graphite Electrode

The graphite electrode is the last part of the short-circuit power grid of the electric arc furnace. The end of the graphite electrode generates a strong electric arc to melt the charge and heat the molten steel, that is, the electrode is the central hub that converts electrical energy into thermal energy. The electrode is exposed to high temperatures during the work, and the furnace gas is oxidized. And the impact of collapsing materials, especially the connection between the two electrodes, has greater resistance, lower conductivity than other places, and is easy to trip, oxidize, fall off, and break, resulting in great electrode consumption and prolonged smelting time. Reduced productivity.
