Electrode Paste

Carbon Electrode paste is used as consumptive conductive material in self-baking Soderberg electrode in the Submerged Electric Furnace (SAF). Electrode Paste is produced in various specifications and different sizes depending on the customers’ furnace size, electrode load and product application. For furnaces with large diameter and high load electrodes (FeSi, CaC2), cylinders with low softening point is generally recommended while for smaller furnaces with low load electrodes (FeNi), blocks or briquettes with high softening point is preferred. However the optimized selection is much related to the paste melt-down pattern experienced for the individual customer’s furnace.
