How to distinguish the types of graphite electrodes?
(1) Ordinary power graphite electrode. Graphite electrodes with a current density lower than 17A/cm2 are allowed to be used. They are mainly used in ordinary power electric furnaces for steelmaking, silicon refining, yellow phosphorus refining, etc.

(2) Anti-oxidation coated graphite electrode. Graphite electrode with a layer of anti-oxidation protective layer coated on the surface forms a protective layer that is both conductive and resistant to high-temperature oxidation, reducing electrode consumption during steelmaking.
(3) High power graphite electrode. Graphite electrodes with a current density of 18 to 25A/cm2 are allowed to be used. They are mainly used in high power electric arc furnaces for steelmaking.
(4) Ultra-high power graphite electrode. Graphite electrodes with a current density greater than 25A/cm2 are allowed to be used. They are mainly used in ultra-high power steelmaking electric arc furnaces.
