Graphite Electrode RP Description
Graphite electrode rp uses domestic petroleum coke and asphalt as raw materials, in accordance with the regular power graphite electrode production processes, calcination, dosing, kneading, forming, baking, graphite and machining refined. The nipple uses one time of impregnation and two time of baking processes.
