Graphite electrodes are used for the recycling of steel in the electric arc furnace industry, so called "mini-mills." We do not simply provide graphite electrodes and nipples as stand alone products to our customers. Rather, the focus is on the delivery of an entire "product system", supported by sales and technical experts from the receipt of the customer''s order, throughout the entire production process, to final product in the steel plants.
Properties and Characteristics - Matching your needsThe graphite electrode load diagram shows mean values based on our experience. Precise evaluation is only possible under specific furnace conditions.
Current Carrying Capacity 
Graphite electrodes from SGL Group are designed for increased productivity and customer value. Our continuous improvements in material properties as well as increased dimensions provide the customer the benefit of applying higher current loads.
The pioneer size of 800 mm / 32 inches has recently been successfully established as a new standard.
