PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
UHP Graphite Electrode For Electric Arc Furnace
Ultra high power graphite electrode used in electric arc furnace
The application of ultra-high power graphite electrodes in electric arc furnaces is mainly reflected in their excellent performance and important role in steelmaking in electric arc furnaces.
Performance characteristics
Ultra high power graphite electrodes (UHP) have the following characteristics:
Low resistivity: Due to the use of high-grade needle coke production, its resistivity is lower, allowing for a higher current density.
Excellent thermal shock resistance: The graphitization temperature can reach up to 2800-3000 ° C, the coefficient of linear expansion is small, and it has excellent thermal shock resistance.
High current density: allows for a higher current density to pass through, suitable for high-power electric arc furnace steelmaking.
Application scenarios
Ultra high power graphite electrodes are mainly used for:
Steel industry: Ultra high power graphite electrodes are indispensable materials in electric arc furnace steelmaking. Graphite electrodes are necessary for electric arc furnace steelmaking, and ultra-high power graphite electrodes have become the preferred choice for producing high-quality steel and special steel due to their excellent performance.
Electric arc furnace steelmaking: Ultra high power graphite electrodes can provide stable high-temperature conductivity, ensuring the smooth progress of the electric arc furnace steelmaking process.
