The invention relates to a polygranular carbon member of granular or, respectively, pulerulant and/or fibrous carbon particles as filler materials and of a binder, which has been subjected to a thermal treatment for consolidation of the binder, as well as to a method of producing such a carbon member. That kind of a carbon member is to be dimensionally stable, self-supporting and rigid also in the case of extremely low wall thicknesses and relatively large surface area dimensions, and it is to be able to be produced economically. For this purpose, it is suggested according to the invention that carbon materials, such as coke, carbon black, carbon filters, natural or synthetic graphite and the mixtures thereof, are incorporated as filler material, and that the carbon member has at first, prior to the thermal treatment and under the influence of shearing forces, been shaped from a plastic carbon composition (mass) with a carbonaceous, cokable binder content of from 50 to 150% by weight, based on the filler material, into a thin, plate-shaped member and through the subsequent thermal treatment into a sheet-like article of a specific configuration.

Polygranular carbon member

Temperature-resistant materials as protective coat for the metal shaft of combination electrodes for the electric steel production, constituting a compound material comprising a carbon share, which contains graphitic structural elements, and a share with at least one ceramic component. The protective elements, which are made of these materials, are characterized by long service times, little susceptibility to unwanted adhesive matter, and good emergency running properties.

Protective coating of temperature resistant materials for the metal

A self-supporting, dimensionally stable carbon composite member or laminar carbon member, having a plurality of carbon felt layers adhesively joined to a thin, uniformly thick polygranular carbon members. The carbon members are formed by applying a shearing force, through a roller, to a plastically deformable carbon composition having a filler and a coke binder. The amount of binder varies, from 50 to 150% by weight relative to the filler material, depending on whether the filler is composed of granular, or pulverulant, and/or fibrous carbon particles. To form the carbon composite member, two different method may be used. In the first method, the rolled carbon member is subjected to a thermal treatment to harden the binder. A binder is then applied between the carbon member and the carbon felt layer. All three components are then subjected to a thermal treatment that consolidates or hardens the binder. Alternatively, the carbon composite member can be formed by taking the carbon member after it has been rolled, placing carbon felt layer on the carbon member, and the subjecting of the components to a thermal treatment. In this process, the binder will harden so as to adhere the carbon members and carbon felt layers together.

The invention relates to a method of providing a flowable carbon material, in particular for filling hollow spaces for the purpose of heat-insulation. A method of that type is to be laid out in a manner such that it is possible to produce thereby distributable or flowable carbon materials, which are less contaminating, in particular, which develop less dust and may also be manipulated in a simpler manner, with the efforts from the standpoint of procedural technique involved to produce these products are to be, if at all, only insignificantly greater than the efforts required in regard to the above-mentioned products. To this end, it is suggested to impregnate with a binder material paper particles in platelet form having an average diameter of from 0.5 to 5 mm and an average thickness of from 0.01 to 1 mm and/or in strip form having an average length of from 5 to 30 mm, an average width of from 0.5 to 10 mm and an average thickness of from 0.01 to 1 mm, which include an ash content of from 0.005 to 5%, and to carbonize them through a temperature treatment such that they form a flowable heap material having a bulk weight of from 30 to 300 g/l, i.e. 66 to 660 pound/m.sup.3.

Method of providing a flowable carbon material

The invention relates to a method for providing a shaped carbon article of low green or crude density and high porosity, in particular for heat insulation, by means of which it is intended to produce shaped carbon articles of actually any dimensions and configurations from comparatively inexpensive organic materials, also from waste products from the paper-making industry. According to the invention, this is done in that paper particles in platelet form having an average diameter of from 0.5 to 5 mm and an average thickness of from 0.01 to 1 mm and/or in strip form having an average length of from 5 to 100 mm, an average width of from 0.5 to 10 mm and an average thickness of from 0.01 to 1 mm, which include an ash content of from 0.005 to 5%, are impregnated with a carbonaceous binder, in that the paper particles are thereupon shaped to form an article and said article is then through a corresponding temperature treatment condensed, carbonized and optionally graphitized.

Temperature and corrosion resistant materials as guard elements for the metal part of combination electrodes for molten flow electrolysis, which consists of a composite material made from a carbon component containing graphitic structural elements, and a component having at least one ceramic. The guard elements thus formed have long service lives and allow trouble-free electrolysis for the extraction of metals.

Use of temperature and corrosion resistant gastight materials as guard

An electrode holder for arc furnace electrodes having a cooled metal shaft at least partially surrounded by a protective jacket of hollow cylinder configuration, generally moldings resistant to elevated temperatures. The protective jacket can surround and protect portions of the electrode holder positioned within the furnace or portions of the electrode holder in a zone engaged by clamping jaws. The protective jacket consists of individual moldings configured to provide generally ring shapes which may be put together to form rings, and coherently surrounding the metal shaft.

Electrode holder for electric arc furnaces

A carbon electrode, in particular a graphite electrode for producing steel which can be used for electric arc melting furnaces of conventional design. The electrode comprises a metal-containing protective layer, and fusion of the contact jaws of the electrode holder with the metal-containing protective layer is avoided by covering at least part of the electrode surface by a graphite-containing material.

Carbon electrode, in particular a graphite electrode for producing steel

A shaped body or structure of carbon, in particular a carbon electrode, preferably having a largely round cross-section and being provided in its surface with at least one slot extending in a generally longitudinal direction and extending to the inside of the structure. The slot is filled by a refractory filler material that substantially reduces the oxidation of the slot walls during operation of the electrode and which allows for variations of the slot width where a temperature gradient develops within the electrode cross-section because of temperature changes occurring during operation in an electric arc-furnace. The filler material is adapted as to its physical and chemical properties of the electrode material and is anchored within the slot.
