What is the mechanical strength of the electrode paste

 The mechanical strength of electrode paste includes compressive strength, flexural strength and tensile strength

　　The electrode paste height refers to the height from the upper end of the electrode clamp to the top of the electrode paste. If the electrode paste is too high, the coarse and fine particles in the electrode paste are prone to delamination, or the electrode barrel is damaged due to the pressure of the paste column is too high. If the electrode paste column is too low, it is difficult to obtain a dense electrode due to the pressure of the paste column is too small and the filling property is poor. The electrode paste is consumed too quickly. The proper height of electrode paste column can improve the quality of electrode baking and reduce consumption.

　　Electrode paste is the conductive electrode of various submerged arc furnaces and is an indispensable product in industrial production. In the national standard of electrode paste, there is no mechanical strength quality index of electrode paste, only the compressive strength quality index of electrode paste. The mechanical strength itself includes the compressive strength and has certain relevance. As a national standard, it may not be able to put all things into the quality standard

　　The mechanical strength of the electrode paste includes compressive strength, flexural strength and tensile strength. The mechanical strength of carbon products is anisotropic, that is, the composition of raw material particles of carbon products is different in the horizontal and vertical directions. Due to the production method of the electrode paste, we will not discuss the anisotropy of the mechanical strength of the electrode paste here. The raw material composition of electrode paste, i.e. different raw materials, particle size and proportion of raw materials, thickness and proportion of powder, and content of coal tar pitch have an impact on the mechanical strength of electrode paste, which will be discussed separately. In this paper, the influence of the temperature change of the electrode paste on the mechanical strength is discussed.

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.
