Which types of smelting furnaces is electrode paste suitable for?

1. Submerged Arc Furnaces (SAF):

These furnaces are commonly used for the production of ferroalloys, silicon metal, and calcium carbide. The electrode paste is ideal for SAF due to its high electrical conductivity and thermal stability.

2. Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF):

EAFs are used in steelmaking and other metal smelting processes. Electrode paste provides efficient electrical conductivity and withstands the high temperatures encountered in these furnaces.

3. Ladle Furnaces (LF):

In the steel refining process, ladle furnaces are used for secondary metallurgy. Electrode paste is used to maintain temperature and improve the quality of the steel produced.

4. Reduction Furnaces:

These are used for producing metals from their ores. Electrode paste is essential for ensuring efficient electrical conductivity and thermal properties required for the reduction process.
