What is Graphite Electrodes' High-Speed Processing Strategy?

As a Graphite Electrodes Manufacturer, share with you.
Graphite has high temperature strength, low thermal expansion coefficient, good processability, and good thermal and electrical conductivity. Therefore, graphite electrodes are widely used in metallurgy, electric furnaces, electric discharge machining and other fields. In terms of EDM, the development of new graphite electrode materials and their processing technologies has expanded the scope of EDM applications and improved their performance.

Graphite Electrodes has the advantages of less electrode consumption, faster processing speed, better machining performance, higher machining accuracy, less thermal deformation, lighter weight, easier surface treatment, higher temperature resistance, higher processing temperature, electrode bonding, etc. compared with copper electrodes.
Although graphite is a very easy-to-cut material, the graphite material used as an EDM electrode must have sufficient strength to avoid damage during operation and EDM processing, while the electrode shape (thin-walled, small rounded corners, sharp changes) Etc. also put forward higher requirements on the grain size and strength of graphite electrodes, which results in graphite workpieces being easily broken and the tools being easily worn during processing. Therefore, how to prevent the workpiece from chipping, improve the surface processing quality, and reduce the cost of processing tools has become an important issue for graphite electrode processing.
Usually conventional turning, milling, and grinding methods can be used to meet the needs of processing simple shapes of electrodes, but in recent years, the requirements for the complexity of electrode geometry have continued to increase. High-speed machining with high machining surface quality and high machining accuracy has made graphite electrode high-speed machining a hot spot in mold EDM processing. Many manufacturers have launched graphite high-speed machining centers. For example, the spindle speed is usually 10,000 to 60,000 r / min, the feed speed can reach more than 60m / min, the processing wall thickness is less than 1mm, and the minimum fillet radius is less than 0.2mm.
As the high-speed machining of EDM graphite electrodes is still a new process, the processing properties of different graphite materials are also different. For the problems of workpiece chipping, tool wear, and processing strategies in high-speed graphite electrode processing, few domestic documents mention it. This article introduces the research results of high-performance graphite electrode materials machining in Japan and Germany, including the basic theory of graphite electrode material cutting mechanism, cutting temperature, tool wear, chip processing, etc., as well as high-speed processing strategies and processing of graphite electrode materials.

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...
