1. Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) Steelmaking
Graphite electrodes are the core conductive material to generate ultra high temperature electric arcs for melting scrap steel in electric arc furnaces. This is the largest application of graphite electrodes.
2. Ladle Refining Furnace (LF)
Used in secondary steel refining furnaces to heat and refine molten steel, adjust temperature and chemical composition of the steel.
3. Ferroalloy Production
Applied in submerged arc furnaces to produce ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, ferrochrome and other ferroalloys.
4. Yellow Phosphorus / Calcium Carbide Production
Used in submerged arc furnaces for manufacturing yellow phosphorus and calcium carbide (acetylene stone).
5. Nonferrous Metal Smelting
Used for smelting nonferrous metals such as copper, nickel and titanium in special electric furnaces.
6. Other Special field Applications
Used in electric furnaces for producing silicon metal, graphite products, corundum and other hightemperature materials.
