Abstracts

The report analyzes and presents an overview of Graphite Electrodes market worldwide. 'Graphite Electrodes offers excellent current carrying capacity and thermal resistance and are primarily used in electric arc furnaces for scrap steel and iron melting purposes. Graphite electrodes are manufactured by using petroleum coke, which is first mixed with coal tar pitch, followed by extrusion and shaping of the mixture.'

Supported with 2 market data tables, the report provides a review of market trends, growth drivers, and strategic industry activities of major companies worldwide. The report further discusses about various types of Graphite Electrodes including Highly Ordered Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) Electrodes, and Powder Graphite Electrodes. In addition, major companies operating in the Graphite Electrodes arena worldwide including Ameri-Source Specialty Products, Beijing Great Wall Co. Ltd., CIMM Group, Energoprom Management JSC, Fangda Carbon New Material Co. Ltd., Graftech International Ltd., Henschke GmbH, Misano SpA, SGL Carbon SE, and Showa Denko KK, and others are profiled.
