Cause of electrode breakage
◆ The force state of the electrode, the degree of force from top to bottom decreases in turn, and the electrode and joint located below the gripper receive the greatest force. ◆ When the electrode is subjected to external force: the external force of stress concentration leads to electrode breakage. ◆ The causes of external force include: collapse of large furnace charge during melting period, non-conductive object at the lower end of electrode in scrap steel, impact of massive flow steel, etc. ◆ Uncoordinated lifting response speed of electrode holder, eccentric core of electrode hole of furnace cover, poor electrode connection, gaps at joints and joints with substandard use strength are also easy to break. ◆ electrode and joint processing accuracy is poor, resulting in poor coordination, but also easy to cause

In recent days, scorching heat has persisted, with a heatwave sweeping across the small grassland town. To fully leverage the trade union’s role as a caring “family,” the General Federation of Trade Unions of Zhengxiangbai Banner recently visited the graphitization plant to carry out a summer outreach campaign titled “Bringing Coolness and Ensuring Health.” The initiative delivered cooling supplies such as bottled water, beverages, and watermelon, along with safety reminders and heartfelt care, directly to workers on the production front lines.

In the golden autumn season, bountiful harvests abound, and the joy of success on the national college entrance exam warms hearts. To genuinely convey the company’s care and help employees’ children pursue their studies with peace of mind and chase their dreams, Shanxi Juxian Graphite New Materials Co., Ltd. organized a heartwarming “Golden Autumn Education Assistance” event on the afternoon of August 25. Dong Zengliang, Chairman of the Juxian Graphite Trade Union Committee, attended the event on behalf of Group President Zhang Xiangjun, while employees Mu Jianfeng, Jiang Yufang, and Fu Linhai, accompanied by their children as beneficiary families, also took part. At the event, Trade Union Chairman Dong Zengliang first extended his heartfelt congratulations to the students who had achieved outstanding results in the exam, as well as to the parents who have devoted themselves to nurturing them.
