DESCRIPTION
Graphite Petroleum Coke (GPC) is commonly used as a carbon additive in the casting industry. GPC is produced by heating petroleum coke to a high temperature, which removes volatile compounds and increases the carbon content. The resulting material has high carbon content and low ash content, making it an ideal carbon additive for the casting process.
GPC is used as a carbon source in the production of cast iron and steel. It is added to the molten metal to adjust the carbon content and improve the quality of the final product. GPC can also be used as a reducing agent to remove impurities from the molten metal.
When using GPC for casting, it is important to choose the appropriate grade based on the specific requirements of the casting process. Factors to consider when selecting a grade of GPC include particle size, sulfur content, and ash content. The proper selection of GPC can help to optimize the casting process and improve the quality of the final product.
