This article covers graphite electrodes construction, properties, and technical applications-understanding these fundamentals will help you get the most out of your industrial processes.

The steelmaking furnace is mainly made of refractory materials, and the temperature of the steelmaking furnace is about 1600 ℃.

The reason why the steelmaking furnace can withstand such high temperature is that the surface layer inside the furnace is coated with acid refractory or alkaline refractory, of which the acid refractory can withstand 1700 ℃ and the alkaline refractory can withstand 2000 ℃.

As one of the important consumables in metal smelting process, graphite electrode needs to be well protected before putting them on furnace, so that enterprises can reduce production costs.

As one of the important consumables in metal smelting process, graphite electrode needs to be well protected during transportation and storage, so that enterprises can reduce production costs.

Graphite electrode is the main raw material for electric furnace steel-making. Electric furnace steel-making uses the graphite electrode to introduce current into the furnace, and uses the high temperature heat source generated by the electric arc between the electrode end and the furnace charge for smelting.

Graphite electrode is one of the main consumables in the steel smelting process. If an enterprise has mastered the method of reducing electrode oxidation consumption, it will help itself to reduce the consumption of raw materials, thus reducing production costs.

Graphite electrode is one of the main consumables in the steel smelting process. When the graphite electrode is used incorrectly, it will cause a great waste of resources and increase production costs.

The consumption of graphite electrode in electric arc furnace steel-making depends on the quality of electrode, and level of steel-making operation and management.
