Graphite electrodes is a kind of conductor, it is essential component for melting scrap of electric arc furnace and ladle furnace. We supply RP,HP,UHP grade graphite electrodes from dia250mm to dia700mm for both arc furnace and ladel furance. HKT graphite electrodes and nipples have good quality base on below properties:
Low electrical resistance Good thermal conductivity High resistance to thermal shocks |
Good mechanical strength High resistance to oxidation Exact mechanical machining |
Manufacturing within narrow tolerances Safe locking Low graphite electrode consumption |
We choose high quality raw material and strictly process to ensure the good quality graphite electrodes.
- Raw Material: Petroleum coke+Needel code+Pitch
- Manufacture Process:
- How to Choose the graphite grade? You may according to the below parameter to choose or contact us.
