Shamokin Carbons products

Is primarily the result of Electrode manufacturing. These electrodes carry the electricity that heats electric arc furnaces, the vast majority steel furnaces. They are made from petroleum coke after it is mixed with petroleum pitch, extruded and shaped, then baked to sinter it, and then graphitized by heating it above the temperature (3000 °C) that converts carbon to graphite. They can vary in size up to 11 ft. long and 30 in. in diameter.

Made from only the highest quality petroleum coke, specifically engineered to provide consistency, repeatability, and less erratic performance. A lot like synthetic graphite such as low ash, hi, and low sulfur. It has a lower density but has fissures which gives it a faster solution rate compared to standard synthetic graphite. Graphitized coke has slight economic advantages over standard high quality synthetic.
