High-power graphite electrodes are a core critical material for steelmaking in medium and large-sized electric arc furnaces. Developed specifically for medium current intensity and high-efficiency smelting scenarios in steel plants, they are widely compatible with 70-120 ton electric arc furnaces and LF refining furnaces, and are a key consumable for improving quality and efficiency in steel production. The product is made from carefully selected high-quality needle coke and modified pitch, processed through high-pressure molding, multi-stage baking, high-temperature graphitization, and precision machining. The process conforms to the YB/T 4088-2017 industry standard.
Key performance indicators are excellent: bulk density ≥1.65 g/cm³, resistivity ≤6.5 μΩm, thermal expansion coefficient ≤1.8×10⁻⁶/℃, room temperature flexural strength ≥10.5 MPa. The joints and body have excellent matching properties, and the electrodes exhibit outstanding thermal shock resistance and electrical conductivity stability. Electrode consumption during smelting is as low as 0.45 kg/t steel, saving 10% energy compared to ordinary power electrodes, and shortening the steelmaking cycle by 8%-12%. They can stably withstand frequent arc ignition and high-temperature smelting impacts, effectively reducing the risk of electrode breakage and chipping, ensuring continuous production in steel plants, and balancing smelting efficiency and operating costs. This makes them a cost-effective choice for upgrading and scaling up production in small and medium-sized steel plants.
