Graphite Electrodes on Metalshub

Graphite electrodes are cylindrical rods made from high-quality graphite used to conduct electricity in electric arc furnaces for steelmaking. These electrodes are known for their excellent conductivity and high-temperature stability. The primary producers of graphite electrodes are China, India, and Japan. They are essential in the steel, ferroalloy, and smelting industries, where electric arc furnaces are used.

Graphite electrodes are primarily used in electric arc furnaces for steelmaking (~70%), where they conduct electricity to melt scrap steel. They are also used in the smelting of ferroalloys (~15%) and in the production of non-ferrous metals (~10%). UHP graphite electrodes are essential for high-performance electric arc furnaces due to their superior conductivity and thermal resistance.
