A method of forming a graphitic carbon body employs compression and resistance heating of a stock blend of a carbon material and a binder material. During molding of the body, resistance heating is accompanied by application of mechanical pressure to increase the density and carbonization of the resulting preform body. The preform can then be subjected to a graphitization temperature to form a graphite article.

High porosity/low permeability graphite bodies and process for the production thereof

An electrode joint having first and second complementary elements capable of being joined together to form the joint, wherein one of the threaded elements has at least one slot at least partially along its length; and wherein one of the threaded elements includes a source of a flowable adhesive in fluid communication with the slot.

Electrode joint locking system

A male-female electrode joint is presented, the joint including two joined graphite electrodes having blocked threads and having a seal interposed between the electrodes, the seal composed of a material having an oxidation rate equal to or less than that of the electrodes.

End-face seal for male-female electrode joints

An end-face seal for graphite electrode joints, including a seal formed of a plurality of individual elements interlocked to form a unitary whole, and formed of a material having an oxidation rate equal to or less than that of the electrodes.
