Applications of graphite electrode:

1. Widely used in electric arc furnace and ladle refining furnace for steel making

2. Widely used in the electric smelting furnace for producing theironalloy, pure silicon, yellow phosphorus, copper matte, calcium carbide and so on.

3. Widely used in the electrical resistance furnace for glass melting, silicon carbide making, graphite product manufacturing, etc.
 

Graphite has the following qualities that copper cannot match:

1. Processing speed: high speed milling and roughing is 3 times faster than copper;High speed milling precision machining is 5 times faster than copper

2. Good workability and can realize complex geometric modeling

3. Light weight,densityis less than 1/4 of copper, The electrode is easy to grip

4. The number of individual electrodes can be reduced because the combined electrodes can be bundled

5. Good thermal stability, no deformation, no working burrs
