Destruction of Graphitized Electrodes Under the Conditions of Thermal Shock

  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

We study the destruction of graphitized electrodes in the course of their operation. It is shown that the predicted behavior of an electrode column under thermal shocks guarantees the possibility of application of integrated performance characteristics of graphitized electrodes, including the thermal stability of the electrode material as a technological factor of production and the dependence of the admissible operating current on the quality criterion of the electrode column regarded as a structural element of the electric furnace as an operational factor.
