What is the Difference Between Copper Electrodes and Graphite Electrodes?

 As a Graphite Electrodes Solutions Supplier, share with you the difference between copper electrodes and graphite electrodes.

Graphite Electrodes

Graphite Electrodes

Data characteristics: Copper: electrolytic copper is best forged without impurities; Graphite: fine-grained structure, isotropic high-purity graphite. Finishing: Copper: 1, low loss electrode; 2. The appearance of the processing enterprise can reach Ra0.1m Suitable for mirror surface processing; 3. If there are grains in the appearance, the grains eroded by copper are more uniform. The graphite electrode is mainly made of petroleum coke and needle coke as raw materials, and coal pitch is used as a binder. It is made by calcination, batching, kneading, pressing, roasting, graphitization, and machining. It releases electrical energy in the form of an electric arc in an electric arc furnace. The conductor that heats and melts the charge can be divided into ordinary power, high power and ultra-high power according to its quality index.

Graphite Electrodes mainly includes four types of common power graphite electrodes, oxidation-resistant coated graphite electrodes, high-power graphite electrodes and ultra-high-power graphite electrodes. Graphite rods are commonly used in electric heaters of high-temperature vacuum furnaces. The maximum operating temperature can reach 3000°C. It is easy to oxidize at high temperatures. Except for vacuum, it can only be used in a neutral atmosphere or a reducing atmosphere. It has a small thermal expansion coefficient, a large thermal conductivity, a resistivity of (8~13)×10-6 Ω·m, better workability than SiC and MoSi2 rods, high temperature resistance, excellent cold and extreme heat resistance, and price Cheaper. Graphite block is a kind of artificial graphite, and artificial graphite is made by manual heating of coke products. Generally, if the purification is made for high purity or carbon fiber, the added value is higher.

Graphite: high finishing electrode loss

Roughing: Red copper:

Graphite: rough opening speed, good air permeability; low electrode consumption, processing is suitable for increasing the cavity.

Data usage rate: Red copper: 1. It can be used again after restructuring. The utilization rate is high. Graphite: Mechanical processing function: Copper: 1, machine function is poor, grinding and finishing is difficult, how to improve: welding on copper Steel substrate; 2. It is easy to deform and the grinding technology is difficult, so it is not suitable for direct production and processing of fine parts; 3. Easy to form graphite: 1, good mechanical function, easy to form and correct. The thin, deep bone electrode will not deform, it is brittle, it will break instead of deforming; it can withstand high temperature without deformation; N1 liter 4, high-speed machine ability and processing, brittle and hard, the tool is easy to wear, need to use a special graphite knife are easy to crack, large dust, easy to fall, easy to deposit carbon, medicine residue, should pay attention to protect the machine tool.

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?

  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...
