Reasons for controlling sintering of electrode paste during sintering

The main reasons for controlling sintering in the sintering process of electrode paste are as follows:

1. The electrode paste sintering process directly affects the quality and performance of the electrode. Proper sintering can improve the conductivity, strength and stability of the electrode, so as to improve the production efficiency and product quality of the electric furnace.

2. The temperature and time control in the sintering process of electrode paste have a great influence on the sintering effect. Too fast or too slow sintering rate may lead to incomplete sintering of electrode paste or over-sintering, thus affecting the performance of the electrode.

3. Some physical and chemical changes may occur during the sintering process of the electrode paste, such as the reduction of specific resistance and the change of thermal shock resistance. These changes have a great impact on the performance of the electrode in the electric furnace, so it is necessary to control the sintering process to achieve the best performance.

4. The loss of electrodes should be taken into account during the sintering process of electrode paste. The electrode in the furnace will be affected by factors such as oxidation, reaction and arc combustion and gradually wear out, so it is necessary to control sintering according to the loss situation to ensure that the electrode can maintain the appropriate working length and position.

To sum up, controlling the sintering process of electrode paste is to achieve the best electrode performance and improve the production efficiency and product quality of EAF.
