The main measures to reduce graphite electrode oxidation consumption include:
1.Reducing the oxidation consumption around the electrode by enhancing the sealing of the furnace, minimizing air infiltration into the furnace, minimizing the exposure time of the red-hot electrode outside the furnace, and standardizing oxygen blowing operations.
2.For smelting furnaces, if conditions permit, using spray cooling technology on the electrode can effectively reduce the oxidation consumption of the electrode sides.
3.Steel mills can spray antioxidant substances on the electrode surface, or electrode manufacturers can use antioxidant impregnation treatment technology before the electrodes leave the factory to improve the oxidation resistance of the electrode body.
