Raw material and classification and performance of electrode paste

Raw material for preparing electrode paste The raw material for making electrode paste is composed of solid carbon material and binding material. The quality of the electrode paste is closely related to the raw material formula and preparation process. Solid materials include calcined anthracite, metallurgical coke, petroleum coke and graphite electrode scraps. Anthracite is dense and has a high carbon content, which can improve the thermal stability, conductivity and mechanical strength of the electrode; the binder of the electrode paste includes pitch and coal tar, and tar is added to adjust the softening point. The binder is decomposed during the sintering process of the electrode paste and the volatiles are discharged and then converted into coke, so that the electrode forms a hard whole. The formula of electrode paste should consider various factors such as the ratio of various aggregates, particle size composition, softening point of the binder, and the amount of addition. Classification and performance of electrode paste The quality of electrode paste is divided into standard paste and airtight paste due to different uses. The former is mostly used in semi-closed submerged arc furnaces; the latter is often used in closed electric furnaces and large-capacity semi-closed electric furnaces due to its low roasting temperature and easy sintering. The aggregates in the standard paste are mostly anthracite and metallurgical coke, while the aggregates in the closed paste are mixed with graphite and petroleum coke in large quantities. The binder of the standard paste is mostly medium temperature pitch, and the binder in the closed paste uses a lot of tar while also using more graphite chips. Due to the high prices of graphite shreds and tar, this is the reason for the high price of airtight pastes, especially high-standard airtight pastes. The latest national standards for the physical and chemical indicators of electrode paste have not yet been announced, the original metallurgical industry standard YBT5215-1996 electrode paste physical and chemical indicators.

Matters needing attention when filling electrode paste

Image
 The following points should be paid attention to when installing the electrode paste airtight paste: 1. Do not allow debris to enter the electrode 2. Proper paste height 3. Work harder 4. Appropriate temperature 5. Prevent overhang Before filling, the electrode paste should be broken, generally broken into small pieces of 80~100mm, so that the electrode paste block can pass between the two ribs smoothly. If the particle size is too large, the electrode paste suspension failure is likely to occur; if the particle size is too small, it is easy to cause the phenomenon of spraying. Use a forklift truck or special tools to transport the electrode paste to the calcium carbide furnace, and use an electric hoist to hoist the electrode paste into the electrode bucket. Pay attention to the safety of hoisting during loading. When installing electrode paste, be careful not to scatter the electrode paste on the equipment outside the electrode barrel, so as to avoid accidents of electric fire. ...

The installation of cathode carbon block 1

Image
 　　The cathode carbon block and cathode steel bar are closely combined into one process. Cathode carbon block is an important part of aluminum reduction cell, which is directly used as cathode lining and conductive material. The cathode circuit of aluminum reduction cell is formed by connecting cathode steel bar and cathode bus. The assembly process of cathode carbon block and cathode steel bar should reduce the contact resistance between them as much as possible. 　　There are three ways to assemble cathode carbon block and cathode steel bar( 1) Cast iron casting method. The gap between them is cast with molten phosphorus pig iron, which is condensed to form a whole( 2) In the carbon paste tamping method, the gap on both sides of the steel rod is filled with cathode paste called steel rod paste, and tamped and compacted with pneumatic tools( 3) Bonding method. The cathode carbon block and steel bar are bonded together with carbon glue or adhesive. Graphite or metal pow...

Storage and management of electrode paste

Image
 As the self-baking electrode of submerged electric furnace, electrode paste has been widely used in the smelting of various products of submerged electric furnace. Although the cost of electrode paste in the production of calcium carbide, ferroalloy and other products is relatively low, the quality of the electrode paste and the firing of the electrode directly affect the stability of the operation of the submerged electric furnace. Due to the various types of submerged electric furnaces, the different furnace conditions, and the increasing capacity of electric furnaces, when the quality index of the electrode paste meets the requirements, the roasting quality plays a decisive factor, which requires us to focus on calcium carbide, ferroalloys, etc. The actual production of the product starts with the management of the electrode paste, strictly implements the operating procedures, regularly and quantitatively lowering the electrodes, and maintains the normal and stable operating pa...
