Needle coke, a highly crystalline petroleum coke used in the production of electrodes for steel and aluminum industries, is distinguished by its needle-shaped structure. This unique physical form, resulting from its low thermal expansion coefficient and high electrical conductivity, makes it a critical component in the manufacturing of ultra-high power (UHP) graphite electrodes. Needle coke is produced through a multi-stage process involving the delayed coking of specific feedstocks, typically low sulfur, low metal content petroleum or coal tar pitches. This specialized coke possesses properties such as high purity, large particle size, and a well-organized structure, making it particularly suitable for high-end applications. The advantages of using needle coke include improved conductivity and physical strength in electrodes, leading to higher efficiency in electric arc furnaces. Additionally, its low coefficient of thermal expansion ensures minimal electrode breakage during high-temperature processes, making it an invaluable material in the metallurgical sector.
