Graphite Petroleum Coke Product Overview
Export Grade Calcined Graphite Petroleum Coke (GPC) is a premium carbon additive widely used in steelmaking, foundries, and ferroalloy production. This product is created by calcining petroleum coke at high temperatures to enhance its fixed carbon content, resulting in superior conductivity and minimal impurities. The low sulfur, ash, and volatile matter levels ensure that it performs well in high-precision applications where consistent carbon content and clean melts are essential.
This GPC grade is especially ideal for use in electric arc furnaces (EAF), induction furnaces, and ladle refining in steel plants, as it helps adjust the carbon levels of molten metal while improving metal quality and furnace efficiency. With controlled impurities and superior graphitic structure, this product provides optimal carburizing and improves overall performance in high-temperature industrial environments.
Key Advantages
- High fixed carbon for efficient carburizing and silicon recovery
- Low sulfur and ash content for cleaner metal production
- Fast dissolution rate and superior conductivity
- Minimizes slag formation, improving furnace efficiency and metal purity
