Graphitized petroleum coke, also known as GPC, is a high-quality carbon material derived from petroleum coke in a process that involves high temperature treatment. GPC is used extensively as a carbon additive in the production of steel and other metals.

The importance of GPC lies in its unique properties – it has high carbon content, low ash content, and excellent thermal stability. These properties make it an important ingredient in the production of electrodes used in steel production, as well as in the fabrication of carbon and graphite-based products.

The process of refining GPC involves a three-stage process of crushing, grinding, and calcining the petroleum coke to remove impurities and create the graphite-like structure. This results in a product that is highly resistant to thermal shock, has excellent electrical conductivity, and is chemically inert.

Graphitized petroleum coke can be sourced from a number of different countries, with China being the largest producer of GPC in the world. It is typically found in powder form, and is often blended with other additives such as coal tar pitch to create a complete carbon or graphite-based blend.

In addition to its primary use as a carbon additive in steel production, GPC is also used in a number of other industrial applications, such as in the fabrication of friction materials, graphite electrodes, and lubricants.

Graphitized petroleum coke has emerged as an important material in the steel industry in recent years, due to its high purity and excellent properties. Its widespread use in a range of applications has cemented its position as an indispensable component in the manufacturing of high-quality steel and other metal products.
