Graphite Electrodes

The main function of graphite electrode is to conduct electricity when smelting metal in electric arc furnace (EAF). Due to the increasing proportion of steel smelted by EAF in the world, the use of EAF to smelt steel plate and other secondary formed steel is the main project to consume graphite electrode. In addition, graphite electrodes are also used in smelting furnaces to melt non-ferrous metals, ceramic products and waste recycling industries.

What grade of graphite electrode can our company provide?

A particular application may require different grades of electrodes to match existing furnaces and reduce overall melting costs. Generally, according to the quality level, graphite electrode can be divided into the following three standards:

Graphite electrode nipple thumbnail2.png

Graphite electrode nipple is fitting for graphite electrode. Graphite electrode generally has higher requirements for nipple, which has a special production process, can be divided into (regular power graphite electrode nipple, high power graphite electrode nipple, and ultra high power graphite electrode nipple).

In order to prevent the connection of graphite electrode from loosening, all graphite electrode nipples produced by HP Graphite Co., Ltd. have been specially processed. The specifications of conical graphite electrode nipple (Japanese nipple) refer to the figure below.
