Making Söderberg Electrode Paste for ferrosilicon smelting

Is a high-performance carbon-based electrode material specially formulated for the production of continuous self-baking electrodes used in submerged arc furnaces (SAF). It consists of carefully selected carbon aggregates combined with a thermoplastic binder that gradually softens and carbonizes under furnace temperatures to form a dense, highly conductive electrode. The product provides excellent electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and thermal stability, making it ideal for demanding metallurgical and ferroalloy manufacturing processes.

Product Features:

• High-carbon self-baking electrode paste.

• Excellent electrical conductivity.

• Thermoplastic formulation for continuous electrode formation.

• High mechanical strength after baking.

• Outstanding thermal shock resistance.

• Uniform baking and carbonization characteristics.

• Easy to extrude, mold, or cut.

• Suitable for continuous or batch electrode charging.

• Stable performance under extreme furnace temperatures.

• Designed for high-current submerged arc furnace operations.

Key Benefits:

• Eliminates the need for pre-baked electrodes.
