Graphite electrodes are used in electric arc furnaces used in metallurgy and foundry for production of steel, cast steel and ferroalloys. Graphite electrodes feature with low electric resistance, low ash contents, high mechanical strength, high resistance to rapid temperature changes and high productivity in melting process. The features mentioned above are obtained as a result of long-time, complicated production cycle, where proper selection of raw materials and continuous process monitoring are of high importance.
