Product Description

Product Description

 UHP Graphite Electrode | Ultra High Power Electrode for Steelmaking & Alloy Smelting

Key Technical Features

Competitive Advantages

Ultra High Power (UHP) Graphite Electrodes are the pinnacle of advanced metallurgical technology, engineered for extreme-current electric arc furnaces (EAF). Designed to withstand 3000-3500°C arc temperatures, they are the backbone of high-efficiency steelmaking, titanium alloy production, and superalloy refining, delivering unmatched performance in energy-intensive industrial operations.

Industrial Applications
Core Use: Critical for ultra-high power electric arc furnaces in steel mills, special alloy plants, and advanced foundries.
Target Sectors:

High-performance steel: Tool steel, stainless steel, electrical steel.
Non-ferrous metals: Titanium, nickel-based superalloys, zirconium refining.
Green metallurgy: Recycled steel production with low carbon footprint.

Ultra-High Current Density (35-45 A/cm²)

Optimized for ultra-high power EAF systems, enabling rapid melting of refractory metals like stainless steel, silicon metal, and aerospace-grade alloys.
Ultra-low resistivity (≤4.5 μΩ·m) reduces energy waste by 22% vs. standard HP electrodes, cutting smelting costs per ton.
Unrivaled Thermal & Mechanical Stability

Compressive strength ≥25MPa and flexural strength ≥12MPa resist cracking under extreme furnace vibrations.
Oxidation resistance tested at 900°C for 700+ hours, extending electrode lifespan by 40% in continuous operations.
Precision Engineering for Global Standards

Large diameters (500-800mm) with ISO/NPT/UHP threading, compatible with 85% of ultra-high power EAFs worldwide.
Tapered nipple joints ensure seamless connectivity, reducing electrode joint breakage by 30%.

Energy & Cost Efficiency

99.5% pure needle coke core reduces electrode consumption by 18%, saving $12/ton in steel production costs.
Automated graphitization process ensures batch consistency for stable arc performance.
Durability for 24/7 Operations

Thermal shock resistance validated through 1500+ rapid heating/cooling cycles, minimizing unplanned downtime.
Anti-oxidation coating (optional) enhances longevity in oxygen-rich furnace environments.
Future-Ready Compatibility

Compatible with Industry 4.0 EAF controls and automated electrode handling systems, enabling smart factory integration.
