DESCRIPTION
Graphitized petroleum coke (GPC) is a form of carbon that has been manufactured by heating high-quality petroleum coke to temperatures of 2,500°C to 3,000°C in an inert atmosphere. This high-temperature treatment removes impurities and significantly increases the carbon content of the material, making it an ideal additive for use in the steelmaking process.
In the steelmaking process, GPC is used as a carbon additive to increase the carbon content of molten iron or steel. The addition of GPC helps to reduce the melting point of iron, making it easier to melt and more fluid. As well as increasing the carbon content, GPC also reduces the amount of other impurities in the molten iron, such as sulfur and phosphorus, which can negatively impact the properties of the final steel product.
