Consumable electrode

Japanese: 消耗電極 - しょうもうでんきょく(英語表記)consumable electrode
Consumable electrode
When melting and smelting metal materials to produce a specific shape, the raw metal is formed into an electrode of an appropriate size. This is the opposite of a non-consumable electrode. In furnaces that use non-consumable electrodes, the melting and smelting of metals is carried out using only Joule heat (electrical resistance heat) or arc heat generated between the electrodes. In contrast, in furnaces that use consumable electrodes, the electrodes themselves are melted using Joule heat or arc heat generated between the electrodes, and are consumed in the smelting process.

溶解・製錬して所定の形状をもつ金属材料を製造するさいに,その金属原料を適当な大きさに成形して電極とするもの。非消耗型電極non‐consumable electrodeに対する呼称。非消耗型電極を用いる炉では,電極間に発生するジュール熱(電気抵抗熱)またはアーク熱だけを利用して金属の溶解・製錬などを行う。これに対して消耗電極を用いる炉では,電極間に発生するジュール熱またはアーク熱を利用して電極自体が溶解され,製錬に関与するために消費される。
