Ferroalloy industry requirements for electrode paste

China is a large producer of ferroalloys and calcium carbide. After decades of development, the mining electric furnace of small size, high energy consumption and low efficiency in the past has been gradually eliminated. Nowadays, the ferroalloy and calcium carbide industry has developed into a highly efficient, energy-saving, recycling and large-scale industrial chain structure. The furnace type of mining electric furnace is also gradually developing towards sealing, large-scale and mechanization. This brings new requirements for electrode paste.
High quality electrode paste, such as Tanlin electrode paste, must have continuous stability, proper fluidity and good thermal conductivity. Self-baking electrodes must be able to withstand high temperatures, have a low coefficient of thermal expansion, low porosity and low electrical resistance to minimize electrical energy losses. At the same time.

it should also have high mechanical strength and oxidation resistance to prevent electrode fracture due to the influence of mechanical and electrical loads as well as minor impacts caused by charge collapse.China is a large producer of ferroalloys and calcium carbide.

However, the electrode paste is produced to achieve the most perfect detection, but also according to the ferroalloy customer’s equipment, voltage parameters, the rate of decline of these data to match, only and the customer’s furnace process to achieve a perfect fit, is considered a qualified electrode paste.
