Graphite Electrodes

Continuous development in Electric Arc Furnaces & Ladle Technology has led to the need of Graphite Electrodes of very stringent quality.

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:

graphite production flow
