UHP Graphite Electrodes
UHP graphite electrodes are engineered for top-tier performance in Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) and Ladle Furnace (LF) steelmaking. Manufactured from premium needle coke through ultra-high temperature graphitization, they feature:
- Excellent electrical conductivity
- High mechanical strength
- Low electrode consumption
- Outstanding thermal shock resistance
All ShanChun® Carbon electrodes are supplied with pre-set graphite nipples (4TPI / 3TPI) for secure connection and stable current transmission.
About ShanChun® Carbon

We ensure quality through strict standards:
| Control Aspect | Standard / Benefit |
|---|---|
| Raw materials | 100% needle coke from China & global suppliers |
| Production | Full-process automated control lines |
| Testing | Resistivity / Density / NDT flaw detection |
| Delivery | Direct shipments to over 18 countries |
Raw Materials
Our UHP electrodes are produced using strictly selected carbon materials:
- Petroleum Needle Coke → Needle Coke Raw Material
- Coal Tar Pitch Binder → Coal Tar Pitch for Graphite Electrode
- Artificial Graphite Scrap (Recarburizer) → Graphite Scrap Material
- Special Oxidation Inhibitors → Anti-oxidation Additives
Raw materials are tested before use to ensure crystal structure integrity and minimum impurity content. Feature of needle coke used in UHP:
| Property | Specification |
|---|---|
| Sulfur Content | ≤ 0.5% |
| True Density | ≥ 2.13 g/cm³ |
| Low ash, low thermal expansion | High conductivity & durability |
Production Process of UHP Graphite electrodes
Core processes in UHP electrode manufacturing:
➡ Graphite Electrode Production Process
1️⃣ Raw Material Calcination
2️⃣ Crushing, Milling & Sieving
3️⃣ Mixing with Pitch → Binder Formulation Control
