Products Features and Applications Kimwan Graphite Electrodes including Regular Power(RP) and High Power(HP) are widely used in steel-making of electrical arc furnace and smelt of yellow phosphorous industrial, silicon, brown corundum in mine heating furnace.
The graphite electrode is mainly made of
petroleum coke
and
needle coke
, and the coal bitumen is used as a binder. It is made by
calcination, compounding, kneading, forming, baking, graphitization
and
machining
.
According to its quality indicators, graphite electrodes can be divided into RP graphite electrodes , HP graphite electrodes and UHP graphite electrodes . HP grade graphite electrode add 30% Japan needle coke, UHP grade graphite electrode use 100% needle coke. Widely used in LF, EAF for steel making industry, Non-ferrous industry, silicon and phosphorus industry.

1. When loading the charge into the electric furnace, in order to reduce the impact on the electrode when the charge collapses. The big bulk material should be placed near the central bottom of the electric furnace. At the same time, be careful not to use a large amount of non-conductive objects such as lime to accumulate directly under the electrode which affects the power supplying or breaking the electrode.
2. Should pay attention to the position of the furnace cover. If the furnace cover deviates, the electrode rubs against the furnace cover. It will result in electrode damage and scraping when the electrode rises or falls.
3. When connecting the electrodes, first blow the dust in the nipple hole with compressed air, then align it with the center, and slowly screw it in vertically. The forceused when screwing the nipple into the electrode hole should be smooth and average and the tightening torque should comply with the regulations.
