Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of graphite electrodes, in particular to graphite electrodes applied to electrical equipment. Background Art

[0002] Graphite electrodes are mainly made of petroleum coke and needle coke as raw materials, and coal tar as a binder. They are made through calcination, batching, kneading, pressing, roasting, graphitization, and machining. They are conductors that release electrical energy in the form of an arc in an electric arc furnace to heat and melt the charge. According to their quality indicators, they can be divided into ordinary power graphite electrodes, high power graphite electrodes, and ultra-high power graphite electrodes.

[0003] During the use of graphite electrodes, in order to meet people's usage length, threaded ends and matching grooves are set at both ends of the graphite electrodes to facilitate people's quick docking. The current at the connection between the electrode and the joint of the electrode column is mainly passed into the electrode through the joint. At the same time, the current density at the thread of the joint hole increases. The maximum current density in this part is at the maximum point of the joint diameter. It is the weakest link in the current conduction and heat conduction in the electrode column. The contact surface temperature between the electrode and the joint increases. Because heat dissipation is not easy in the joint, and the thermal conductivity coefficient of the electrode and the joint is limited, a higher heat load is formed at the connection between the electrode and the joint than at other parts, which is very easy to cause local overheating, arcing, burning, falling off or even breaking in this part. Therefore, graphite electrodes used in electrical equipment are urgently needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
