Electrically Calcined Anthracite For Friction Materials is a high quality refractory and a key component in many industrial application. This material is also used for the manufacture of electrodes in aluminum smelting. A combination of low oxidation, resistance to corrosive agents and its mechanical and compressive strengths make ECA an ideal selection. Either ECA monoliths in their pure form or ECA composite princesses produced by resins gluing together powdered ECA small monoliths is the most common way to produce electrodes. The resins used in the composite princess are typically phenolic.
ECA is processed using an electric DC calciner. This technology is superior to the gas-based calcination process, as it offers better heat control. In addition, the process results in an environmentally and economically responsible product. The final product is high-density and dense, with low levels of ash. It is an excellent alternative to traditional calcined anthracite coal or graphite, and can be used in a wide range of applications.
ECA is widely used, not only in aluminium melting but also for foundry applications. ECAs are commonly used to produce carbon electrode paste, cathode block and carbon electrode paste. This is used during the aluminum smelting, casting, and remelting processes to improve machinability. This is also used as an alternative to coke when making steel.
The global market for electrically calcined anthracite is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. There is an increased need for the product in both aluminum and metal industries. Infrastructure projects in Asia Pacific are also growing. ECA demand is likely to grow in future due to the move towards renewable energy sources.
