What are the advantages of ordinary power graphite electrode

There are many types of graphite electrodes. According to different power, they can be divided into ordinary power graphite electrodes, high power graphite electrodes, ultra high power graphite electrodes, etc. Different types of graphite electrodes can be applied in different fields. As one of the many graphite electrodes, ordinary power graphite electrode is widely used in the market due to its own advantages. So, what are the main advantages of ordinary power graphite electrodes?

1. The increasingly complicated geometry of graphite electrode molds and the diversification of product applications have led to higher and higher requirements for the discharge accuracy of spark machines. Ordinary power graphite electrodes are easier to process, have higher removal rate by EDM, and have less graphite loss. In addition, some special-shaped electrodes cannot be made of copper, but graphite is easier to mold, and copper electrodes are heavier and are not suitable for processing large electrodes. These factors have caused some group-based spark machine customers to use graphite electrodes.

2, ordinary power graphite electrode processing speed is fast. For example, the milling process is used to process graphite, and its processing speed is 2 to 3 times faster than other metal processing without additional manual processing, while copper electrodes need to be frustrated by hand. The processing speed of ordinary power graphite electrodes is not only fast, but also more efficient, and it does not cause dust problems.

 

3. The design of ordinary power graphite electrode is different from traditional copper electrode. There are different reserves for roughing and finishing of copper electrodes, while graphite electrodes use almost the same reserves, which reduces the number of CAD / CAM and machining operations.

    By understanding the advantages of ordinary power graphite electrodes, you can also indirectly understand why ordinary power graphite electrodes are so popular in the market. Of course, during the application, in order to give full play to the role of ordinary power graphite electrodes, in addition to ensuring that the quality of graphite electrodes is acceptable, it is necessary to master the method of using ordinary power graphite electrodes correctly.
