Eminyakeni yamuva, emhlabeni jikelelei-graphite electrodeimakethe ikhule kancane iqhutshwa ukufunwa kwezimboni ezahlukene.Enye yezimboni ezinkulu eziqhuba isidingo imboni yensimbi.Ama-electrode e-graphiteziyingxenye ebalulekile yenqubo yokwenza insimbi futhi zisetshenziswa ekwenzeni insimbi ye-arc kagesi (EAF).

Ukungeniswa kwamanye amazwe kwama-electrode e-graphite bekulokhu kukhula kancane eminyakeni yamuva nje ngenxa yokukhula kwesidingo sensimbi emazweni asathuthuka anjenge-India, Brazil, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, neThailand.Le minotho esafufusa ibikhulisa amandla ayo okukhiqiza insimbi, okuholele ekwenyukeni kwesidingo sama-graphite electrode.

I-India, ikakhulukazi, iye yavela njengomthengi omkhulu wama-graphite electrode, izwe elingenisa ngaphezu kwama-30% wesamba esidingekayo emhlabeni jikelele.Njengoba uhulumeni waseNdiya ehlose ukukhulisa amandla okukhiqiza insimbi yezwe afinyelele kumathani ayizigidi ezingama-300 ngo-2023, isidingo sama-graphite electrode kulindeleke ukuthi sikhule ngokuqhubekayo.

Omunye umnotho osafufusa, iBrazil, okuyizwe lesishiyagalolunye emhlabeni jikelele ngokukhiqiza insimbi, itshala imali eningi emkhakheni wayo wensimbi.NjengeNdiya, isidingo saseBrazil sama-graphite electrode besilokhu sikhula kancane kancane, njengoba izwe lingenisa ngaphezu kuka-10% wesidingo somhlaba wonke. 

Ukungeniswa kwamanye amazwe kwama-electrode e-graphite avela e-Egypt, eJalimane, eTurkey, eThailand nakwamanye amazwe nakho kwanda kancane kancane.Lawa mazwe abelokhu etshala imali emandleni awo okukhiqiza insimbi, okuholela ekwenyukeni kwesidingo sama-graphite electrode.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ama-electrode e-graphite anamandla aphezulu kakhulu (i-UHP) athola ukuduma phakathi kwabakhiqizi bensimbi ngenxa yokusebenza kwabo okuphezulu nokusebenza kahle kwamandla aphezulu uma kuqhathaniswa nama-electrode e-graphite e-EAF avamile.Ama-electrode e-graphite ahlanzekile kakhulu kulindeleke ukuthi aphendule ingxenye enkulu yesidingo se-graphite electrode emakethe yomhlaba.

Kafushane, imakethe ye-graphite electrode yomhlaba wonke ibilokhu ikhula kancane eminyakeni yamuva, iqhutshwa yisidingo esivela emazweni asathuthuka anjengo-India, Brazil, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, kanye neThailand.Isidingo sama-electrode e-graphite kulindeleke ukuthi sikhule eminyakeni ezayo ngokukhula kokutshalwa kwezimali embonini yensimbi kanye nokushintshela ku-UHP graphite electrode.
