Graphite electrode advantages Graphite electrodes are easier to process, and the processing speed is significantly faster than copper electrodes. For example, the milling process is used to process graphite, which is 2 to 3 times faster than other metal processing and does not require additional manual processing, and the copper electrode requires manual grinding. Similarly, if a high-speed graphite machining center is used to manufacture the electrode, the speed will be faster and the efficiency will be higher, and there will be no dust problem.
In these processes, choosing tools and graphite with appropriate hardness can reduce the wear of the tool and the damage of the copper electrode. If you specifically compare the milling time of graphite and copper electrodes, graphite electrodes are 67% faster than copper electrodes.
In the general case of electrical discharge machining, the processing using graphite electrodes is 58% faster than that using copper electrodes.
In this way, the processing time is greatly reduced, and the manufacturing cost is also reduced.
