You'll find them in every major metal smelter or steel mill around the globe. They are essential in high-temperature metalurgical processes, such as steel melting and aluminum casting. Recent technological improvements in electrodes enable them to be more efficient and contribute towards meeting increasingly demanding sustainability standards.
Ultra High Power Graphite Electrode, or UHPGE for short, are a big boy in the graphite industry. They have a diameter greater than 600mm. They're the superheroes of the metallurgical world, capable of handling extremely high current densities and temperatures. These are the electrodes that will help you achieve higher productivity, more efficiency and lower operating costs than ever before.
It accounts for approximately 65% the price of an electrode. By sintering, needle coke undergoes a process of refinement and is transformed to high-quality graphite. UHP-graphite electrodes are able to reduce steel smelting by as much as 30%
A typical electrode consists of five minimally-overlapping layers, each characterized by different electrical properties. This layered structure occurs because, during the lithiation process, the lithium atoms in graphite are deposition in LiC12 or LiC6 phase. The electrode layers are much deeper and have more complicated structures. They can also carry more electricity than the top layer.
UHP graphite electrodes are required for Electric Arc Furnaces in the steel sector, but they must meet very strict requirements. Ameri-Source stays abreast with the latest technological advances at our customers' end to create new electrodes which meet the strict specifications. Our electrodes come in many sizes, materials, shapes and lengths. Also, our in-house machine tools include milling on the 4th or 5th axis, sanding, coring and grinding. By doing so, we deliver top-quality goods on schedule and at reasonable prices.
