As a very important component of the steel manufacturing industry, graphite electrode is made of different materials. When these materials combined, one of the most resilient electrodes are made. A substantial amount of heat will be produced when electricity is funneled into the electrode itself. In most cases, multiple electrodes are used, allowing scrap metal to be almost instantly liquefied, so that steel girders and other products can be made by pouring the molten metal into a mold. Unfortunately, graphite electrodes do not last forever. You must have a constant source for these where you can exchange old ones for new ones on a weekly basis.

Generally speaking, regular power graphite electrodes are manufactured for operation at currents with a density of not more than 17 A / cm2, High power graphite electrodes refer to the graphite electrode that allows the use of a current density of 18 ~ 25A / cm2. UHP graphite electrodes with current densities greater than 25 A / cm2 are acceptable. And the indexes of graphite electrodes are as follows:
