Abstract
Carbon electrodes have at least one socket with an internal thread to be mated with a threaded pin having at least one external thread. Also such a threaded pin is provided for connecting to such carbon electrodes. The internal thread or external thread of the carbon electrodes and/or the pins are provided with non-load bearing abutment thread windings.
Claims20
A threaded electrode, comprising:
- two electrode end faces;
- two sockets each having a socket bottom and an internal thread, said internal thread of at least one of said sockets having non-load bearing abutment thread windings with abutment faces facing towards said electrode end faces;
- and
- a central axis running along a length.

A threaded pin for connecting carbon electrodes having two sockets with an internal thread, the threaded pin comprising:
- a pin body having a length, a central axis running along said length, two end faces, two end portions, a midplane lying between said two end portions, and at least one external thread, said external thread having non-load bearing abutment thread windings having abutment faces facing towards said pin end faces.
A pre-set, comprising:
- an electrode containing two electrode end faces, a central axis running along a length, and two sockets each having a socket bottom and an internal thread, said internal thread of at least one of said sockets having non-load bearing abutment thread windings with abutment faces facing towards said electrode end faces;
- and
- a pin monotroded in one of said sockets of said electrode having said non-load bearing abutment thread windings, said pin having a midplane aligned with one of said electrode end faces at said one socket.
A pre-set, comprising:
- a pin containing a pin body having a length, a central axis running along said length, two end faces, two end portions, a midplane lying between said two end portions, and at least one external thread, said external thread having non-load bearing abutment thread windings with abutment faces facing towards said pin end faces;
- and
- an electrode having an electrode end face and a socket monotroded with one of said end portions provided with said non-load bearing abutment thread windings, said midplane aligned with said electrode end face at said socket.
An electrode assembly, comprising:
- pre-sets each containing:
- an electrode containing two electrode end faces, a central axis running along a length, and two sockets each having a socket bottom and an internal thread, said internal thread of at least one of said sockets having non-load bearing abutment thread windings with abutment faces facing towards said electrode end faces;
- and
- a pin monotroded in one of said sockets of said electrode having said non-load bearing abutment thread windings, said pin having a midplane aligned with one of said electrode end faces at said one socket.
