Tanlin carbon brand electrode paste in the ferroalloy industry's calcium carbide furnaces:

Adapt to Furnace Conditions: For large calcium carbide furnaces with high working currents and heavy loads, it is recommended to use the electrode paste developed by Tanlin carbon for large-scale equipment. This type of electrode paste features high electrical conductivity, high mechanical strength, and strong oxidation resistance. It can withstand the severe thermal shock of high-load submerged arc furnaces, reducing the risk of hard breakage or dropping off. For small calcium carbide furnaces, products with moderate performance from the same brand can be selected.
Consider Raw Material Quality: Tanlin carbon brand electrode paste is made of high-quality raw materials such as anthracite coal, metallurgical coke, and binders. The company’s factory strictly controls the impurity content in the raw materials, such as ash content and sulfur content, to ensure the stable performance of the products. For example, its electrically calcined anthracite coal is of excellent quality, and the quality control of the binders follows high standards, laying a solid foundation for the excellent performance of the electrode paste.

Storage Environment: Tanlin carbon electrode paste should be stored in a dry and well-ventilated warehouse to avoid moisture and rain. The storage temperature should be kept at an appropriate level to prevent the electrode paste from softening or deteriorating due to excessive temperature.
Transportation Requirements: Use special tools during transportation to ensure that the electrode paste is not damaged or contaminated. Pay attention to avoiding bumps and collisions to prevent breakage or deformation. For electrode paste packed in bags or bulk bags, pay attention to the integrity of the packaging to prevent impurities from mixing in.

Loading Method: When loading Tanlin carbon electrode paste, it is necessary to operate according to the specified sequence and method to ensure that it is evenly distributed in the electrode cylinder. At the same time, precisely control the loading amount, as too much or too little will affect the performance of the electrode.
Sintering Process: The sintering of the electrode paste is a crucial step. Tanlin carbon company will provide customers with customized sintering process guidance based on the characteristics of the electrode paste and the operation conditions of the calcium carbide furnace. For example, in the processes of producing ferronickel, ferrochromium, high-carbon ferromanganese, and silicomanganese, for the working conditions where the electrode is exposed to air and carbon dioxide, the company will guide customers to reasonably control parameters such as sintering temperature, heating rate, and holding time to ensure that the electrode paste is fully sintered. During the sintering process, closely monitor the temperature change and sintering status of the electrode, and adjust the process in a timely manner. When judging the sintering quality, you can refer to the surface color and smoke emission of the electrode. For example, if the electrode surface is grayish white and there is a small amount of smoke, it indicates good sintering.

Control of Electrode Working Length: Reasonably control the working length of the electrode to avoid it being too long or too short. An excessively long electrode is prone to breakage, while an excessively short electrode will affect the power input and production efficiency of the electric furnace. Tanlin carbon company can provide relevant technical support to assist customers in determining the appropriate electrode working length.
Regular Electrode Inspection: Regularly check the working status of the electrode, including the consumption situation, surface temperature, and mechanical strength. When abnormalities are found, such as local overheating of the Tanlin carbon electrode paste or cracks on the surface, deal with them in a timely manner, such as adjusting the working length or repairing the surface. If necessary, Tanlin carbon can arrange professional personnel to assist customers in electrode inspection and maintenance.
Prevention of Electrode Accidents: Strengthen the protection of the electrode to prevent mechanical damage, high-temperature oxidation, and chemical corrosion. Formulate a complete emergency plan. Once an electrode accident occurs, such as electrode breakage or paste leakage, effective measures can be quickly taken to reduce losses. At the same time, Tanlin carbon company can provide training services for accident prevention and handling to help customers improve their ability to deal with emergencies.

Establish a Consumption Statistics System: Establish a sound consumption statistics system for electrode paste, accurately record the usage and consumption of Tanlin carbon electrode paste. By analyzing the consumption data, identify the factors affecting the consumption, such as process operation and equipment conditions, and formulate improvement measures.
Optimize the Operation Process: Optimize the operation process of the calcium carbide furnace, such as adjusting the burden ratio, controlling the furnace temperature, and using the electrode reasonably, to reduce the consumption of the electrode paste. Tanlin carbon company can provide suggestions and solutions for process optimization according to the actual situation of customers. At the same time, strengthen the training of operators to improve their skills and levels, ensuring the stable operation of the calcium carbide furnace and reducing the consumption cost of the electrode paste.
