What is the Difference Between Graphite Electrode and Glassy Carbon Electrode?

 As a Graphite Electrodes Solutions Supplier, share with you. Graphite electrode uses petroleum coke as aggregate and coal tar pitch as a binder. After a series of processes such as pulverization, batching, kneading, molding, roasting, impregnation, graphitization, and mechanical processing, a high-temperature oxidation-resistant conductive material is prepared. 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 electrodes are mainly made of petroleum coke and needle coke as raw materials, coal tar pitch as a binder, and are made by calcination, batching, kneading, pressing, roasting, graphitization, and machining. It releases electric energy in the form of electric arc in an electric arc furnace. The conductors that heat and melt the charge can be divided into ordinary power, high power and ultra-high power according to their quality indicators. Graphite electrodes mainly include four types of ordinary power graphite electrodes, anti-oxidation coating graphite electrodes, high power graphite electrodes and ultra-high power graphite electrodes.

Graphite Electrodes

Graphite Electrodes

Graphite electrodes have excellent electrical properties and chemical stability, high mechanical strength at high temperatures, low impurity content, and good vibration resistance. It is a good conductor of heat and electricity.

It can be widely used in enterprise steelmaking electric arc furnaces, refining furnaces, submerged arc furnaces for the production of Chinese ferroalloy, industrial silicon, yellow phosphorus, corundum, and other smelting furnaces that use network arcs to affect high temperatures. According to the difference of power and current, it can be divided into ordinary power graphite electrode, high power graphite electrode and ultra high power graphite electrode. According to the different electrode diameter, there are different specifications from 75 to 600mm. Special specifications of graphite electrodes and special-shaped graphite products can be processed according to the special requirements of customers.

Glassy Carbon Electrode

When the stripping voltammetry is carried out within the research range of a more positive potential, a glassy carbon electrode can be used. The glassy carbon electrode has a high hydrogen overpotential, good conductive material performance, strong chemical resistance, and a smooth surface that is not easy to adhere to gas and dirt. The original electrode used as a modified working electrode and a reaction of oxidation technology reduction can be measured. 

The first step of solid electrode surface treatment is mechanical grinding and polishing to mirror level, especially when the electrode surface has an inert layer or a very strong adsorption layer, it must be treated by mechanical or heating methods.

After each polishing, first clean the surface dirt, then clean it in an ultrasonic water bath, and repeat it three times in 2 to 3 minutes, each time. Finally, use 1:1 ethanol, 1:1 nitric acid and distilled water for ultrasonic cleaning. In the 0.5-1mol/lh2so4 solution, the electrode is activated by cyclic voltammetry in the scanning range of 1.0-1.0 v, and the scanning is repeated until a stable cyclic voltammogram is obtained.

What are Graphite Electrodes and Needle Coke?

  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...
