Typical application
T1186 ZR electrodes are used for electrical boosting or direct melting. Available in large size with rectangular or cylindrical cross section.
Homogenous structure enabling a uniform electrical resistivity.
T1186 ZR has an improved thermal stability leading to higher corrosion resistance at high temperatures while maintaining low electrical resistivity.
