Materials Based on Thermally Expanded Graphite in the Metallurgical Industry

  • SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

Features of utilizing materials based upon thermally expanded graphite (TEG) as barrier materials in electric baths are considered in the article. Experience of industrial application of a graphite foil barrier layer for protecting the refractory part of reduction cells, and advantages and disadvantages of a graphite foil barrier material are analyzed. An area for improving the properties of the barrier materials with the help of antioxidation impregnation is proposed.
