Revisiting Graphite Electrodes for Electric Arc Furnaces: Three‐Dimensional Microstructural Heterogeneity as a Design Parameter for Fracture Resistance

ABSTRACT Graphite electrodes are widely used in electric arc furnaces due to their high mechanical stability, electrical conductivity, and thermal resistance. Early detection and understanding of fracture mechanisms are therefore essential to mitigating catastrophic failures, sav...
