Additional Info
Graphite electrodes are conductive rods used in electric arc furnaces for the production of steel and other metals. They are made by processing needle coke, a high-quality type of petroleum or coal-based coke, into a dense and electrically conductive material. Needle coke, due to its unique structure and high purity, is the preferred raw material for producing these electrodes, ensuring they have the necessary conductivity and durability for the high-temperature smelting process.
