company news about Characteristics of High-Power Graphite Electrodes

Graphite electrodes are an important component in the production of steel and other metals in electric arc furnaces (EAFs). With the increasing global production of electric steel, the demand for high-power graphite electrodes has grown rapidly. The price range of 400-600 US cents per kilowatt-hour has become the most suitable for graphite electrodes used in 20-50-ton electric arc furnaces.

Characteristics of High-Power Graphite Electrodes

High-power graphite electrodes in the 400-600 US cents range possess specific characteristics that make them suitable for medium to high-power electric arc furnaces. These electrodes have a higher density than traditional electrodes, allowing them to withstand higher temperatures and currents. They also have lower electrical resistance, making the electric arc furnace process more energy-efficient.
