The invention relates to a horizontal two-way vibration forming process of carbon
electrode and special forming equipment. The forming process comprises following steps: selecting materials, heating, mixing, kneading, air-
drying, adding materials, pre-vibrating, pressurizing, two-way vibrating, and de-molding. The special forming equipment consists of a four-axis
amplitude modulation vibration table, a frame, a mold, a pressure-bearing conductive connector, a hydraulic
piston, a vibration energy-storage spring, a hydraulic mechanism, etc., wherein the mold consists of an upper mold, a middle mold and a lower mold; a
vibration motor is fixed on the upper mold; the upper mold, the pressure-bearing conductive connector and the hydraulic
piston on the hydraulic mechanism constitute a pressure conductive device and are fixed on the frame through the two-way vibration energy-storage spring; the lower mold is horizontally fixed on the four-axis
amplitude modulation vibration table through a flip hinge; and the middle mold is below the upper mold and above the lower mold. Carbon
electrode manufactured by the process has the advantages of high strength and density, good consistency, less internal defects, high forming efficiency, and reduced
energy consumption.
