Application of RP Graphite Electrode
Electric furnace steelmaking mill is the largest user of graphite electrodes. Graphite electrodes used in steelmaking accounts for 70%-80% of the total graphite electrodes production. Graphite electrodes are used to conduct electric current into electric furnace, electric arcs generated between electrodes end and loaded materials can release large amount of heat for high temperature smelting.
(1) For Resistance Furnace
The graphitization furnace for producing graphite products, the furnace for glass melting, and the electric furnace for producing silicon carbide are all electric resistance furnaces. Materials loaded in these furnaces are not only heating resistances but also the objects to be heated. Usually, graphite electrodes for electric conduction are embedded in the wall of resistance furnace end part, so the graphite electrode used here is not continuously consumed.
(2) For the Production of Special Shaped Graphite Products
Graphite electrode workblank is also used to make a variety of special shaped graphite products such as crucible, mold, boat vessel and heating component. For example, in quartz glass industry, for every ton of electrofusion tube, 10t of graphite electrode blank is required, for every ton of quartz bricks, 100 kg of graphite electrode blank is consumed.
