RP 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.

Ordinary power graphite electrodes are used for ordinary steelmaking electric furnaces, using ordinary petroleum coke as raw material. In the production process, the graphitization temperature is low, the resistivity is high, the coefficient of thermal expansion is large, and the bending resistance is slightly poor, so the allowable current load is small.
