Electrode are some times broken due to: -

1) Electrodes making contact with a none metallic object as they are being hard pressed and ultimately broken. Electronic instruments are available to find this condition and take corrective measures to avert breakage of electrodes.

2) Scrap falling against the electrode(also known as scrap cave-in or collapse)

Above conditions are applicable for EAF

3) Electrode breaking at joints due to incorrect jointing (Not having the correct torque applied to the sections being jointed)

4) Rough handling prior to being used (While being moved or stored)

5) If thermosetting thead lock are missing due to some reason or other,the same mishap may happen.

6) Thread may have some entrapped external material which in turn damage the thread while torquing.

7) If phase sequence is not correct, electrode will be loosened from the joint and may fall in the molten metal.

Duties of a wastewater treatment technician?

Erosion and sedimentation control on construction sites has become an overwhelming problem of the years, awareness and compliance has become an essential part of any EHS plan. This course teaches the Best Management Practices (BMP) that Erosion Control supervisors and Project Managers must know in order to manage erosion and sedimentation at construction sites. Objectives of this course include the erosion and sedimentation process, the duties of an Erosion Control Supervisor/Project Manager, regulatory requirements, materials handling and BMPs for erosion and sediment control. A Wastewater Treatment Technician (Operator) is a skilled and professional person who maintains the functions of a Wastewater Treatment Facility. The Tech: 1. Collects samples and analyzes them for optimum process control and makes changes as needed, 2. Operates and maintains all plant equipment. Makes needed repairs or reports them to higher supervision, maintenance, etc. 3. Assures that Plant meets all Federal (EPA), State and Municipal guidelines, 4. Provides housekeeping to areas as needed, 5. Maintains proper chemical dosages to processes and makes changes as needed, 6. Documents every daily change made within process and maintain reports. 7. Maybe required to work shift work, weekends, on call, holidays, etc. 7. Notify the public of major spills, catastrophes, etc. 8. Decent computer skills, able to read and interpret data, good math and science aptitudes. 9. Able to work under normal or no supervision at times. PGC Sr McDonough, Ga

What is the difference between Conarc furnace and eaf?

In BOF the steel making is done by blowing oxygen through a lance and in EAF it is done by producing an arc from the electrodes. A Con-arc furnace makes use of both the technologies i.e both the oxygen blowing and electrode arc method. The input for BOF is Hot metal whereas the input for EAF is scrap. but the input for Con-arc furnace is 50% Hot metal and 50% Scrap.


Does electrode float?

strange question... he would probably die, because water on electric makes a boom ------ Electrode has a height of 3'11 and a weight of 146.8 lbs. (66.6kg). Assuming that it has the shape of a perfect sphere, of which the diameter is its height, one could easily calculate its density: 73.6kg/m3. As the density of water is 1000kg/m3, Electrode should be easy for it to float on water while carrying something as heavy as 2,000 pounds (838kgs). Despite this, Electrode can't learn Surf. The reason behind this is unknown.

What element is in center electron post of a battery?

We find carbon or graphite as the center electrode of a zinc-carbon battery. It's the "common" battery we use in lots of stuff (but not an alkaline battery). That center electrode is the positive one, and the zinc makes up the outer or negative electrode in this battery. In an alkaline battery, manganese dioxide is the center, or the cathode (positive electrode). Powdered zinc will be found as the outer or negative electrode (anode).
