摘要:
The monolithic graphite electrode has a first end face including a socket and a second end face located at an opposed end face of the electrode body including a threaded tang, wherein a main body has a length of more than 3175 mm. Another embodiment disclosed herein includes an electrode column comprising a plurality of monolithic graphite electrodes. The column has a length of more than 3175 mm of electrode per joint. A further embodiment discussed herein is the practice of increasing the length of the electrode to minimize the occurrence of an electrode joint in the electrode column for a given length. This practice will improve efficiencies for both electrode manufacturers as well as electric arc furnace operators.

An induction furnace capable of operation at temperatures of over 3100°C has a cooling assembly (60), which is selectively mounted to an upper end of the furnace wall (76). The cooling assembly includes a dome (62), which is actively cooled by cooling water coils (68). During the cooldown portion of a furnace run, cooling initially proceeds naturally, by conduction of heat away from the hot zone through a furnace insulation layer (58). Once the temperature within the furnace hot zone (20) reaches about 1500°C, a lifting mechanism (80), mounted to the dome, raises a cap (16) of the furnace slightly, allowing hot gases from the hot zone to mix with cooler gas in the dome. This speeds up cooling of the hot zone, reducing cool-down times significantly, without the need for encumbering the furnace itself with valves or other complex cooling mechanisms which have to be replaced periodically. The life of a graphite furnace susceptor (10) at the high operating temperature is increased by surrounding the susceptor with a barrier layer (40) of flexible graphite, which inhibits evaporation of the graphite. Additionally, witness disks (154), placed within the susceptor, provide an accurate temperature profile of the hot zone.

Insulation materials suited to high temperature applications, such as the insulation of furnaces, are formed from a mixture of pitch carbon fibers, such as isotropic pitch carbon fibers, and a binder comprising a solution of sugar in water. The sugar solution is preferably at a concentration of from 20-60% sucrose to yield a low density material having high flexural strength and low thermal conductivity when carbonized to a temperature of about 1800°C.

There is disclosed a method for the continuous production of resin-impregnated flexible graphite sheet, the method comprising (i) reacting raw natural graphite flake-like particles with a liquid intercalant solution to form intercalated graphite particles; (ii) exposing the intercalated graphite particles to a temperature of at least about 700° C to expand the intercalated graphite particles to form a stream of exfoliated graphite particles; (iii) continuously compressing the stream of exfoliated graphite particles into a continuous coherent self-supporting mat of flexible graphite; (iv) continuously contacting the flexible graphite mat with liquid resin and impregnating the mat with liquid resin; and (v) continuously calendering the flexible graphite mat to increase the density thereof to form a continuous flexible graphite sheet having a thickness of no more than about 1.0 inches.

The present invention concerns monolithic graphite electrodes of increased length. The electrode has a main body having a length of more than 3050 mm. Another embodiment disclosed herein includes an electrode column comprising a plurality of such monolithic graphite electrodes. The column has a length of more than 3050 mm of electrode per joint. A further embodiment discussed herein is the practice of increasing the length of the electrode to minimize the occurrence of an electrode joint in the electrode column for a given length. This practice will improve efficiencies for both electrode manufacturers as well as electric arc furnace operators.
