In addition to electrode breakage, customers are also concerned about issues such as electrode paste chipping, high electrode paste consumption, paste lumping, technical support, after-sales service, and the stability of paste quality. Today, we will analyze the phenomenon of electrode paste chipping in detail, aiming to help more people understand this issue and address it promptly to avoid production disruptions.

Electrode chipping is essentially a type of hard break—occurring below the surface level with relatively short broken ends—or partial flaking off of the electrode. The main causes include poor electrode paste quality, improper paste feeding methods, incorrect operating procedures, and equipment malfunctions. A detailed analysis follows:

1. Electrode Paste Quality Issues

1) High Ash Content: Excessive ash content accelerates electrode consumption, making it difficult for sintering speed to keep up, which increases the risk of chipping.

2) Abnormal Volatile Matter or Softening Point: High volatile matter content leads to rapid evaporation; a low softening point weakens sintering strength, both contributing to chipping.

2. Improper Paste Feeding Methods

1) Excessive Paste Column Height: An overly tall paste column increases electrode weight beyond the clamping system’s capacity, causing slippage or chipping.

2) Uneven Paste Filling: Poor compaction or layering during filling reduces sintering quality, resulting in loose structure and increased chipping.

3. Operational Process Issues

1) Inappropriate Pressing Frequency or Duration: Frequent pressing or excessively long single pressing cycles lead to insufficient sintering and reduced strength; too long intervals cause paste column collapse and chipping.

2) Improper Power Supply Conditions: Excessive current or unstable voltage overheats the electrode, accelerating chipping; high power factor can also trigger chipping.

4. Equipment and Operational Factors

1) Structural Malfunction of Electrode Cylinder: Mechanical issues such as stiffened ribs or poor copper tile contact create uneven stress distribution, leading to chipping.

2) Environmental Temperature Effects: Low winter temperatures may cause intermittent operation of heating elements, resulting in paste blockage or inadequate sintering.
