What are the shortcomings of graphite electrodes?
The disadvantages of graphite electrodes are as follows.
High manufacturing cost
Compared with some other types of electrodes, the manufacturing cost of graphite electrodes is relatively high, which increases the cost of their application.
Susceptible to mechanical damage and thermal expansion
The surface of graphite electrodes is prone to cracking due to mechanical damage or thermal expansion, which affects their service life and performance.
Relatively short service life
Graphite electrodes need to be replaced regularly, otherwise the electrodes may be damaged, which in turn affects the normal operation of the entire oven. This increases maintenance costs and downtime.
