Application and advantages of electrode paste

 In the process of producing carbide, ferrosilicon, ferromanganese and other ferroalloys, the smelting temperature needs to be increased, which can meet the production requirements only by inputting a strong current into the furnace through special electrodes.

In order to make the electrode work normally at high temperature in the electric arc furnace, the electrode itself needs to have good conductivity, oxidation resistance and thermal shock resistance. Only the electrode paste produced with carbon raw materials can meet the harsh smelting requirements under continuous arc high temperature above 3000 degrees. Therefore, electrode paste plays an important role in the above-mentioned thermoelectric furnaces, so it is called the "heart" of this kind of electric furnace.

The electrode paste is a kind of "continuous self baking electrode" in terms of its use method and properties. In the process of use, the outer layer of the continuous self baking electrode is a cylinder made of 1-2 mm thick steel plate. The electrode paste is regularly added to the cylinder. With the trend of production, the electrode paste gradually softens - melts - roasts, and releases a large amount of volatile during roasting. When it enters the conductive clip of the electrode, Because of the high temperature, it changes from semi coking to complete coking, * becomes a conductive carbon electrode, and the cylinder formed by steel plate melts into the furnace charge. The electrode paste is baked into a conductive electrode by various heat of the electric furnace itself, so it is called a self baking electrode.

Study on impurities in high purity flake graphite

Image
 　　For the analysis of trace impurities in high-purity flake graphite, the sample is usually pre ashed or wet digested to remove carbon, the ash is dissolved with acid, and then the impurity content in the solution is determined. The ashing method does not need to use ultra pure acid to dissolve the ash, thus avoiding the risk of introducing the elements to be measured, so it is used more. It is also very difficult to detect the ash content of high-purity flake graphite, because the enriched ash needs to be burned at high temperature, and it is difficult to separate the ash from the sample boat at high temperature, which makes it impossible to accurately determine the composition and content of impurities. 　　The existing methods all take advantage of the characteristic that the platinum crucible does not react with acid, use the platinum crucible to burn the high-purity flake graphite to enrich ash, and then directly heat the sample in the crucible with acid to dissolve th

General technical index requirements for electrode paste

Image
 Electrode occupies an important position in submerged arc furnace. The working conditions of the electrode are bad, the current passing through is high, the temperature difference between the two ends is large, and the production is affected by the impact of mechanical, electrical and charge collapse... Mechanical strength, higher electrical resistivity, better thermal shock resistance, oxidation resistance and smaller thermal expansion coefficient. Generally speaking, the quality of electrode paste is controlled by the following five indicators: 1. Ash: Ash is the residue of electrode paste when it is burnt to constant weight at 850℃-870℃. It belongs to inorganic minerals. It has high ash resistivity, poor strength, high power consumption, and large electrode consumption. In the event of a hard breaking accident, the ash content is a very important indicator, and the lower the better. 2. Volatile matter: Volatile matter refers to the mass loss of electrode paste under the condition o

Performance characteristics of anthracite electrode paste

 Anthracite is the main raw material of electrode paste. The performance of anthracite is related to the performance of electrode paste. Therefore, it is necessary to understand and discuss the performance of anthracite to ensure the quality of electrode paste. Anthracite coal in China is mainly distributed in Shanxi, Ningxia and Guizhou. Shanxi is the origin of anthracite, which is mainly produced in Yangquan and Jincheng. Anthracite is an indispensable raw material for carbon industry. It is mainly used in semi graphite cathode carbon block, electric furnace carbon block, blast furnace carbon block, carbon electrode and various pastes. Studying and discussing various properties of anthracite is very beneficial to improve the quality of carbon products.
