How to Optimize Graphite Electrodes Production Efficiency?

As an HP Graphite Electrodes Supplier, share with you. Even if each graphite electrode is the most advanced equipment and has the optimal control system, it still has to operate according to production conditions and actual conditions. Therefore, people have been working to optimize the production efficiency of graphite electrodes. Graphite Electrodes steelmaking has evolved from a low-cost smelting method that can only produce a small amount of commercial-grade steel to a smelting technology that can produce various grades and qualities of steel for continuous use. There are induction coils, graphite electrode accessories, graphite electrode equipment and so on.
Just like every steelmaking plant is different-to adapt to specific production conditions, such as transportation conditions and power conditions, each graphite electrode is also different. Operators aim to meet specific process standards, so they adapt their production methods to local or market conditions. This does not mean that graphite electrode steelmaking has no prospects. On the contrary, graphite electrode designers have developed a variety of graphite electrodes to improve graphite electrode steelmaking, many of which have been installed or operated.

Feeding control
The cost of the charge (scrap, DRI, molten iron) may be the biggest factor in the cost of graphite electrode steelmaking. Therefore, in addition to obtaining certain product quality, many graphite electrode producers alternately change the charging mode in order to find the best production cost. Danieli has developed a feeding model for graphite electrode smelting stainless steel, which estimates that raw materials account for "more than 80% of production costs." Danieli's Lowest Cost Charge (LCC) model is designed to optimize graphite electrode charging by considering the production methods, influencing factors, and constraints including raw materials, time, and scrap inventory required for each furnace. This model takes the charge of each furnace as the calculation factor according to the total amount of scrap steel, ferroalloy, residual molten steel in the furnace and molten steel (if any), and provides different calculation modes and functions.
EAF process and BOF technology
As long as the first furnace is filled with molten iron, the top oxygen gun immediately begins to blow oxygen to decarburize the molten steel. After the decarburization phase is completed, quickly raise the oxygen lance and exit the furnace, and the electrodes are immediately in place. Continuously add DRI cold material while power is on. The second stage is carried out in the first furnace while the second furnace is in the refining stage. Therefore, the position of the electrode is adjusted for the second furnace.

What are Graphite Electrodes and Needle Coke?

图片
  As a   Graphite Electrodes Manufacturer , share with you. Graphite electrodes are the main heating element used in electric arc furnaces, which is a steelmaking process that melts scrap from old cars or old home appliances to produce new steel. The construction cost of an electric arc furnace is cheaper than that of a traditional blast furnace, which is made of iron ore to make steel and is fueled by coking coal. However, steelmaking costs are higher because they use scrap steel and are driven by electricity. Graphite Electrodes The electrode is a part of the furnace cover and is assembled into a cylinder. Then, the current passes through the electrodes, forming a strong arc, melting the scrap. The size of the electrodes varies greatly, but the diameter can reach 0.75 meters (2 and a half feet), and the longest can reach 2.8 meters (9 feet). The largest weighs more than two metric tons. Up to 3 kilograms (6.6 pounds) of graphite electrodes are required to produce one ton of ...

How to Deal With the Details of Graphite Electrode Use?

图片
  As a   Graphite Electrodes Manufacturer , share with you. We need to know that the wet graphite electrode should be dried before use, and the internal thread of the electrode hole should be checked for integrity. When we clean the surface of the spare graphite electrode and the internal thread of the hole with compressed air, there must be no oily water; avoid cleaning with steel wire or metal brush cloth. Graphite Electrodes It is important to carefully screw the connector into the electrode hole of the spare graphite electrode, and screw the electrode strap (graphite strap is recommended) into the electrode hole on the other end of the spare electrode. When lifting the electrode, the cushion is soft to the bottom of one end of the spare electrode assembly connector to prevent ground damage and connector damage; the lifting hook extends to the lifting ring of the lifting device to lift, the lifting electrode is smooth, preventing the electrode from being released from the B...

Do you know the Bending Strength and Average Particle Size of Graphite Electrode Materials?

图片
  As a   Graphite Electrodes Manufacturer , share it with you. The bending strength of graphite electrode materials and the bending strength of graphite electrode materials are a direct reflection of the strength of the material, reflecting the compactness of the internal structure of the material. Graphite block is a kind of artificial graphite, and artificial graphite is made by artificial heating of coke products. Generally, if it is purified to make high purity, or carbon fiber, the added value is high. Graphite rods are often used as electric heating elements in high-temperature vacuum furnaces. The maximum operating temperature can reach 3000℃. It is easy to oxidize at high temperatures.  Graphite Electrodes Except for vacuum, it can only be used in neutral or reducing atmospheres. Its thermal expansion coefficient is small, thermal conductivity is large, resistivity is (8~13)×10-6 Ω·m, processability is better than SiC, MoSi2 rod, high temperature resistance, extre...
