Graphite Electrode (GE) is a high value, needle coke based raw material primarily used in the electric arc furnaces (EAF) for steelmaking, mine electric furnace for smelting ferrous alloys and electric discharge machining markets to enhance the production of fine surface finishes. In a nutshell, GE is a key component for electric arc furnaces (EAFs) that turn scrap into steel. Needle coke is the main raw material for GE production and critical for the growth of GE industry.
