Graphite Electrodes
Graphite Electrodes and associated nipples are made from petroleum coke and needle coke, with coal-tar pitch as binder medium.
The production process meets highest industry standards, and consists of crushing, milling, screening, batching, mixing, extrusion, baking, pressurized pitch impregnation, rebaking, graphitizing and machining.
This results in finished graphite electrodes inhabiting superior conductivity with high temperature resistance and excellent anti-oxidation property.
