How to avoid electrode breakage and tripping during steelmaking

The following measures are taken during the steelmaking process to effectively avoid electrode breakage and tripping:

(1) The electrode phase sequence is correct, counterclockwise.

(2) The scrap steel is evenly distributed in the steel furnace, and large scrap should be placed at the bottom of the furnace as far as possible.

(3) Avoid non-conductive materials in scrap steel.

(4) The electrode column is aligned with the furnace top hole, and the electrode column is parallel. The furnace top hole wall should be cleaned frequently to avoid the accumulation of residual steel slag causing the electrode to break.

(5) Keep the electric furnace tilting system in good condition and keep the electric furnace tilting stable.

(6) Avoid clamping the electrode holder at the electrode connection and electrode socket.

(7) Choose nipples with high strength and high precision.

(8) The torque applied when the electrodes are connected should be appropriate.

(9) Before and during the electrode connection, prevent the electrode socket thread and nipple thread from mechanical damage.

(10) Prevent steel slag or abnormal objects from being embedded in the electrode socket and nipple to affect the screw connection.
