Graphite electrodes are used mainly in electric arc furnace steel production. They are presently the only products available that have the high levels of electrical conductivity and the capability of sustaining the extremely high levels of heat generated in this demanding environment. Graphite electrodes are also used to refine steel in ladle furnaces and in other smelting processes.
GrafTech International introduced UCAR® Grade AGX™ ultra-high power (UHP) graphite electrodes and Grade AGX™ supersize graphite electrodes, 700 to 750 mm in diameter. Now GrafTech International offers premium quality electrodes designed and engineered specifically for the ladle furnaces and non-steel applications.
