Title: High-Performance Graphite Electrodes | Low-Consumption & Durable for Steelmaking

Why Steel Mills from Poland to Vietnam Choose Our Electrodes

Graphite electrodes aren’t just conductors—they’re the heartbeat of electric arc furnaces (EAF). When a Turkish steel plant needs to melt scrap at 3,000°C or a Brazilian foundry aims to cut energy costs by 15%, they turn to our Ultra-High Power (UHP) electrodes. Engineered for extreme thermal shock resistance and minimal oxidation, these electrodes outlast competitors by 20-30% in continuous steelmaking cycles.

Key Features That Slash Operating Costs

Low Nipple Breakage: Proprietary threading design reduces joint failures. A Saudi steel mill reported zero nipple breaks after switching to our 600mm UHP electrodes.
Oxidation Resistance: 3-layer impregnation coating cuts electrode consumption by 12-18% in humid climates.
High Current Density: 28-32 A/cm² capacity for rapid melting. Cut tap-to-tap time by 8 minutes per heat.
Traceability: Laser-etched batch numbers track performance from furnace to QC reports.
Certified Safe: Meets ISO 8005, GB/T 3078, and RMI standards.

Technical Specs That Matter

Grades & Applications:

UHP (600mm-700mm): For 100+ ton EAFs. Used in Chinese mega mills producing rebar.
HP (500mm-600mm): Mid-sized furnaces. Ideal for Indian stainless steel production.
RP (400mm-500mm): Small-scale foundries and ladle furnaces.

Critical Parameters:

Property	UHP 600mm	HP 550mm
Resistivity (μΩ·m)	5.5-6.5	6.5-7.5
Flexural Strength (MPa)	12.5-14.0	10.5-12.0
Ash Content (%)	≤0.3	≤0.5
CTE (×10⁻⁶/°C)	1.2-1.5	1.6-2.0

Packaging:

Wooden crates with moisture-proof film (20 electrodes/crate)
Anti-rust steel bands for sea freight

Proven in 1800°C Infernos

Case 1: Iranian Steel Plant
Problem: Competitor electrodes cracked after 120 heats in 85% humidity.
Our Fix: UHP 700mm with anti-oxidation coating. Achieved 220 heats at 1.8% consumption rate.

Case 2: Italian Specialty Steel Maker
Issue: Electrode joints failed during 18-hour continuous casting.
Solution: Precision-threaded nipples + graphite glue. Ran 36 hours non-stop.

Mill Manager’s Checklist

Storage: Keep crates <30°C & 40% humidity. A Mexican plant uses dehumidifiers to extend shelf life.
Installation: Torque nipples to 250-300 N·m—over-tightening causes cracks.
Scrap Prep: Remove zinc-coated metals. A Korean mill reduced electrode wear by 9% doing this.
