The introduction of graphite electrode work in Electric arc furnace for steel making
Electric arc furnace (EAF) for steel making is the big and major customer of graphite electrodes. In China, the EAF steel output accounts for around 18% of total crude steel output. Graphite electrodes for steel making accounts for 70-80% of the total amount of graphite electrodes application. By passing a high voltage and current to graphite electrode, electric arc will be generated between electrode tip and metal scrap which will produce huge heat to melt the scrap. The process of smelting will consume the graphite electrode, and they have to be replaced constantly.
