Anodes & Electrodes

Our specific instruments can test all the relevant properties of baked anode cores; those influencing the anode consumption (CO2, air reactivity, air permeability and thermal conductivity) or properties that influence thermal shock resistance (compressive strength and Young's modulus, flexural strength and thermal expansion). The electrical resistance, a property relevant for energy consumption, can also be measured.
These instruments may also be used for testing cathodes, graphite electrodes as well as baked Söderberg and ramming pastes.
