Use of graphite in steelmaking
Application of graphite electrode in smelting, alloy steel, iron alloy, graphite electrode, the strong current through the melting zone, the arc electrode into the electric furnace, the electrical energy into heat, the temperature rises to 2000 degrees Celsius, so as to achieve the purpose of melting or reaction.
At present in the world (MgO-C brick raw material for graphite and magnesium) as refractory material, has been widely used in steelmaking, has become a traditional use of graphite.
Graphite can be used as an agent for carburizing in the steel making industry. Carburizing uses a wide range of carbonaceous materials, including synthetic graphite, petroleum coke, metallurgical coke, and natural graphite. Worldwide, the use of graphite for carburizing is still one of the main uses of earth like graphite.
