The failure of graphite arc-furnace electrodes
Graphite electrodes used in steelmaking are joined together by threaded, tapered connectors (nipples) of similar material. The jointed regions are subjected to arduous thermal and mechanical stresses during use. Mechanical stresses arise from electrode self-weight and tightening torque, and the ther...
