Nga Hiko Kawhata me te Nipple

Graphite electrodes and nipples are essential components used in electric arc furnaces for the production of steel and other metals.

Graphite electrodes and nipples are critical components in the steelmaking process, as they play a crucial role in generating the high temperatures required to melt and refine metals. The quality and performance of the electrodes and nipples are essential to the overall efficiency and productivity of the electric arc furnace, and therefore they must be manufactured to strict quality standards.
