Carbon electrodes; with or without metal, of a kind used for other than furnaces

HS v2017 Code: 854519

About carbon electrodes; with or without metal, of a kind used for other than furnaces

hs code 854519 covers carbon electrodes, which are essential components in a wide range of industrial applications beyond just furnaces. These electrodes play a crucial role in various electrochemical processes, energy storage solutions, and specialized manufacturing techniques. As a key part of the broader carbon products industry, the production and trade of these electrodes have significant economic implications, impacting sectors such as metallurgy, electronics, and renewable energy.

Production process

Carbon electrodes are typically manufactured through a multi-step process. The primary raw material is high-purity carbon, often in the form of petroleum coke or coal tar pitch. This carbon material is first crushed and purified, then mixed with binders and other additives to form a homogeneous paste. The paste is then extruded or molded into the desired electrode shape and size, followed by a high-temperature baking or graphitization step to enhance the electrode's electrical and mechanical properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of carbon electrodes under hs code 854519 include high-quality carbon sources, such as petroleum coke or coal tar pitch, as well as binders, additives, and specialized manufacturing equipment. The production process also relies on access to reliable energy sources and skilled labor to ensure consistent quality and efficiency.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 854519 is carbon electrodes, which find applications in a variety of industries.
