Choose by Production Scale & Cost GoalsSmall-Medium Enterprises/Intermittent Production:Prioritize RP Electrode for lower initial investment (30% cheaper than HP), standardized sizes for quick installation, and reduced equipment debugging costs. Large-Scale Steel Plants/Continuous Production:Opt for HP Electrode to leverage conductivity and longevity in high-load operations. Long-term electricity savings (over 20% monthly) far outweigh initial cost differences, offering superior total cost efficiency. High-End Smelting/New Energy Industries:Select UHP Electrode despite higher upfront costs (3-4x RP). Its efficiency gains (25% faster smelting) and quality assurance (high-purity certification) help break into high-margin markets, delivering 10%-15% lower total cost per ton in premium applications.4. . Choose by Industry-Specific RequirementsSubmerged Arc Furnace Smelting (Industrial Silicon, Yellow Phosphorus):· Recommend RP/HP Electrode based on furnace size:· Small furnaces (≤5000kVA): RP for cost control;· Large furnaces (≥10000kVA): HP for long-term high-temperature load resistance and reduced electrode consumption. New Energy Material Production (Lithium Battery Anodes, Photovoltaic Silicon):· UHP Electrode is a Must due to: -Ash ≤0.2% to avoid metal ion contamination, critical for lithium battery-grade graphite; -Ultra-high conductivity speeds up graphitization, shortening batch processing time by 20% to meet explosive new energy demand.Export-Oriented Enterprises (EU/US Compliance):· Recommend HP/UHP Electrode with additional focus on: -CE certification (both HP/UHP) and REACH registration (UHP pre-registered); -UHP's low-carbon process (optional low-temperature graphitization) to meet EU CBAM carbon tariff requirements for high-power products.Selection Decision FlowchartplaintextDetermine Furnace Power → 30-80 Ton → RP 50-150 Ton → HP for alloy steel, UHP for special steel 80-300 Ton → UHP (Mandatory) Define Smelting Goal → Basic Metals → RP Premium Alloys → HP High-End Metals/New Energy → UHP Evaluate Budget → Cost-Sensitive/Small Scale → RP Efficiency-Driven/Scale Production → HP Tech-Intensive/High Margins → UHP Packing & DeliveryHUATAO SERVICE1.
