What Is A Graphite Electrode?
A graphite electrode is a type of electrode used in electric arc furnaces (EAFs) to melt and refine steel, iron, and other metals. It is made of graphite, a form of carbon that has unique properties such as high thermal conductivity, high melting point, low coefficient of thermal expansion, and good electrical conductivityRead more -

Graphite Electrode Soldering Iron
Graphite electrode is nothing more than a sharp graphite rod, taken from a pile, subject to a support conductor of the current, copper tube, and at a reasonable distance a plastic handle, PVC tube. The handle should be far enough away so that it does not reach so much heat to soften it. Anyway it is clear that PVC is the worst plastic that can be used for this but it was there.Read more
