Analyze The Difference Between Graphite Electrode And Regenerated Graphite Electrode

1. The process is different. In the process of regenerating graphite, it is not graphitized. Of course, the raw materials are different. The cost of graphite electrode rods is much higher. The density of recycled graphite carbon rods is higher than that of graphite electrode rods, at 1.7 and 1.58 respectively. However, when used in actual production, recycled graphite carbon rods cannot replace graphite electrode rods. With the continuous development of science and research and development of graphite applications, some new developments and discoveries have been made. Graphite electrode refers to a kind of resistant material made by using petroleum coke and pitch coke as aggregate and coal pitch as binding agent through raw material calcination, crushing and grinding, batching, kneading, molding, roasting, impregnation, graphitization and mechanical processing. The high-temperature graphite conductive material is called artificial graphite electrode (referred to as graphite electrode) to distinguish it from natural graphite electrodes prepared from natural graphite.

2. Different performance. Compared with graphite electrode rods, regenerated graphite carbon rods have poor electrical conductivity. If the resistance requirements are stricter, graphite electrode rods should be used. For furnace use, recycled graphite carbon rods are more durable, and they also have high temperature resistance, the main thing is that they are cheap. Electric furnace steelmaking is a big user of graphite electrodes.
