Graphite electrodes are mainly used in high-temperature smelting equipment such as electric arc furnaces and induction furnaces to smelt steel, alloys, non-ferrous metals, and other ores, as well as electrochemical processes such as electrolytic aluminum and electrolytic copper.

Classification of graphite electrodes

Graphite electrodes can be divided into different types according to their use and size, such as ultra-high power graphite electrodes, high power graphite electrodes, normal power graphite electrodes, etc.. They differ in terms of electrical conductivity, resistencia a altas temperaturas, and service life.
