stands for Ultra High Power Graphite Electrode. It is a type of high-performance electrode used in electric arc furnaces for steel production. UHP graphite electrodes have low electrical resistance, high thermal conductivity, and good mechanical strength, which makes them ideal for use in high-temperature and high-power applications. They are made from premium quality needle coke and are used in the production of high-quality steel products.
Low electrical resistance: UHP graphite electrodes have a low electrical resistance, which enables efficient and high-power transfer during the steelmaking process.
High resistance to oxidation and corrosion: They have high resistance to oxidation and corrosion, which ensures a longer lifespan and reduces the need for frequent replacements.
