What are the precautions for using graphite electrodes in the processing plant?

Graphite electrode is a kind of graphite product. Its manufacturing process is very strict, and materials such as asphalt coke, petroleum coke, coal tar, etc. are used during the processing of graphite electrodes. It has strong useful functions and a long service life.
Graphite has many excellent functions and is widely used in metallurgy, machinery, electrical, chemical, textile, national defense and other industrial sectors.
1. Moisture-proof: Graphite electrodes should be prevented from being wetted by rain, water or moisture, and must be dried before use.
2. Anti-collision: Handle with care and prevent damage from impact and collision during transportation.
3. Anti-crack: When tightening the electrode with bolts, pay attention to the strength to prevent force bursting.
4. Anti-breakage: Graphite electrodes are brittle, especially small and narrow electrodes, which are easy to break when external forces act on them.
5. Dust-proof: Dust-proof equipment should be used during mechanical processing to reduce the impact on the human body and the environment.
6. Smoke-proof: EDM is prone to produce a large amount of smoke, and ventilation equipment is required.
7. Prevent carbon deposition; graphite electrodes are prone to carbon deposition during discharge, so pay close attention to the processing status during discharge machining.
