Graphitized Petroleum Coke (GPC) is a premium carbon additive produced by high-temperature graphitization of petroleum coke. This process transforms the carbon structure into a more ordered crystalline form, significantly improving carbon purity, electrical conductivity, and absorption efficiency in molten metal applications.
GPC delivers concentrated carbon source for precise metallurgical control:
The graphitized carbon structure enables faster dissolution compared to ordinary carbon materials:
Controlled impurity levels support high-quality production requirements:
| Parameter | Typical Specification |
|---|---|
| Fixed Carbon (FC) | 98.5% min / 99% min |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤0.05% / ≤0.03% |
| Ash Content | ≤0.5% |
| Nitrogen (N) | Customized |
| Moisture | ≤0.5% |
| Volatile Matter | ≤0.5% |
| Particle Size | 0-1mm, 1-5mm, 5-10mm, Customized |
High-quality petroleum coke selected based on:
