Uses of 400mm graphite electrode

 

 
 

In iron and steel smelting industry

As a key component of the electric arc furnace, 400mm graphite electrodes can generate a powerful arc and convert electrical energy into heat energy.

 
 
 

In smelting non-ferrous metals

The electrolytic production process of aluminum, copper and other metals, the 400mm graphite electrode as an anode can withstand the strong current and high temperature in the electrolytic process.

 
 
 

In the field of chemical industry

In some high-temperature electrochemical synthesis reactions, you can use 400mm graphite electrode as electrode materials to participate in chemical reactions. They promote the reaction and create the necessary conditions for the production of chemical products.

 

 

The Manufacturing Process of 400mm Graphite Electrode

 

 

Step 1: Extrusion Process
The needle cokes are finely crushed and selectively sieved to ensure that only the desired particle sizes are retained. These particles are then combined with pitch in precise proportions to form a paste-like mixture. The resulting mixture is then extruded and molded into cylindrical shapes using molds of specific dimensions.

 

STEP 2: Baking Process
To carbonize the pitch, it is subjected to heat treatments of approximately 1000°C. If baking process is carried out in a short time, cracks and pores could occur due to volatile substances included in the pitch or shrinkage.

 

STEP 3: Pitch Impregnation Process
During the baking and re-baking processes, volatile substances included in the pitch evaporate, creating pores. The pores are filled again with pitch, to increase its density. The pitch impregnation process is repeated multiple times for the electrode joints (PIN) to ensure optimal density and strength.

 

STEP 4: Rebaking Process
To carbonize the impregnated pitch, a secondary heat treatment is conducted at temperatures below 800°C. The rebaking process takes approximately one week.

 

STEP 5: Graphitization Process
Rebaked electrodes undergo a heat treatment process known as graphitization, where electric Joule heating is employed to raise the temperature to approximately 3000°C.

 

Step 6: Machining Process
Both electrode body and the joint are machined using special machine to achieve precision levels as fine as 1/1000mm, depending on the part.

 

Step 7: Inspection Process
After undergoing product property measurements and conducting visual inspections, the product is shipped out as the finished product.

When the graphite electrodes are selected for electric steel furnace, reference is made to the current carrying capacity of the electrodes.

 

Before the electrodes are connected to the nipples, it is necessary to blow the electrode threads thoroughly clean with compressed air and screw the nipples tightly then into the electrodes.

 

When the elevator of the electric arc furnace is hoisting the electrodes, no swing is allowed so as to avoid the electrode joints being loosened and dislocated. The tightening devices of the electrodes must not hold the electrode near the area of nipple sockets.

 

In order to prevent the breakage of the electrodes in case of scrap cave-ins, lift the electrodes in time according to the melting condition and dump the unmelted waste steel into the pool.

 

Charging the furnace, put the large scrap steel lumps at the bottom and the small ones at the top. In order to prevent dislocation after the electrodes being jointed, we provide binding paste and pins which is easily to be applied.

 

The transport and storage of the graphite electrodes must be kept away from being moistened or wetted by rain, snow and water. Be sure to dry them up before use .

 

Product Transportation Packaging

Protective End Caps

All ends of graphite electrodes come with fitted protective plastic or rubber caps to keep threaded parts safe.

Wooden Crates or Pallets

Graphite electrodes are mostly packed in heavy-duty pallets or sturdy wooden crates. These pallets or crates are made to take in electrode weight and length, which can vary based on size.

Foam and Cushioning

Materials for cushioning like soft padding or foam, are placed all around graphite electrodes to take in the vibrations and shocks movement or transportation brings.
