RP (Regular Power) graphite electrodes are ideal for electric arc furnaces operating at low to medium power. Manufactured by the reputable Fangda Group, China, these electrodes are imported and supplied directly by us. Available for wholesale and retail with delivery options including DDP and CFR.
What is an RP Graphite Electrode and Where is it Used?
RP graphite electrodes have higher electrical resistance and lower bulk density compared to HP and UHP grades. These electrodes are commonly used in low-energy melting operations such as traditional foundries or non-ferrous metal casting industries.
