EG, EGP , EGSP Graphite Electrodes carbon electrodes RP HP UHP Electrode for Steelmaking
Product Description
Graphite electrodes is made of high quality calcined petroleum coke,imported needle coke and modified coal asphalt,the grade are RP,HD(impregnation),HP, SHP and UHP graphite electrodes,the Diameter is from 75-700mm.Graphite electrode produced by our company has the advantages of low resistivity,high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity,good oxidation resistance,good thermal shock resistance,high mechanical strength,easy to machine,etc.Graphite electrode is widely used to smelt the steel,alloy steel and other metal or nonmetal material in electric arc furnace.
Product Parameters
Graphite electrodes of EG/RP grade are used in electric arc, refining, ferroalloy and submerged-arc furnaces
