This electrode paste is made from a blend of carefully selected raw materials. Materials are chosen based on carbon content and properties. These materials must be able resist high temperatures. Electric conductivity, mechanical strength and other characteristics are all important. The primary raw material for this process is calcined petroleum coke, also known as kiln-treated coal or electrically calcined anthracite coal. The coal tar paste acts as an adhesive for the coke. The carbon electrodes will be more durable during both the manufacturing process as well as in service.
Once the kiln-treated anthracite coal, coke, and coal tar pitch are blended together, they undergo further processing to refine the raw material and produce the paste. This is done by grinding the mixture to create a fine powder. This powder is then combined with a water-soluble binding agent such as phenolics resins or cellulose ethers, to create the final electrode. The paste is pressed out into different shapes to form the electrode, such as cylinders and polygonal block.
This paste is frequently used in the manufacture of different types of carbon electrodes for use in submerged electric arc furnaces (SAFs) for aluminum smelting, and for other metallurgical applications. This type electrode is also used in smelting for the production or ferroalloys, calcium carbides, and other processes.
During the melting process, the paste acts as a medium to transfer the electric current from carbon electrodes to aluminum metal. This allows aluminum to be separated out of alumina. The electrode paste helps maintain the integrity and strength of the carbon electrode, which is subjected to high temperatures during the smelting procedure.
Another benefit of cylinder electrode paste is its strong adhesive properties. This makes it easy to adhere the carbon electrode to its metallic support structure. This is important because the carbon electrodes need to be able resist the high temperatures that are encountered during the aluminum smelting procedure.
Weaver And Company Ten20 conductive EEG is water-soluble, so it can be easily cleaned with warm tap water. This paste does not dry out and is used by many technicians and experts because it has the perfect balance of conductivity and adhesiveness. It can adhere 10mm electrodes for EEG exams, evoked potentia procedures, ENG tests, and even brain mapping.
