graphiteGraphite (named by Abraham Gottlob Werner in 1789, from the Greek γραφειν: "to draw/write", for its use in pencils) is one of the allotropes of carbon. Unlike diamond, graphite is a conductor, and can be used, for instance, as the material in the electrodes of an electrical arc lamp. Graphite holds the distinction of being the most stable form of solid carbon ever discovered. It may be considered to be the highest grade of coal, just above anthracite, although it is not normally used as fuel because it is hard to ignite. Graphite Electrodes: graphite electrodes are used in the Arch Electric furnaces to transport the electric current and that when entering in contact with the scrap it will produce an Electric Arch, generating a great temperature that will melt the scrap.
