The 2026 China Carbon Industry Chain Technology Innovation Summit highlighted low-carbon steelmaking, electrode quality improvement and stable global supply chains. Dongyuan Carbon supplies Phi200-Phi800mm UHP, HP and RP graphite electrodes, nipples and customized carbon products for global EAF steel mills.
The 2026 19th Carbon Industry Chain Market Seminar was held in Zhengzhou. China-made Phi800mm large-diameter UHP graphite electrodes show stronger export capability. Dongyuan Carbon supplies Phi200-Phi800mm UHP, HP and RP graphite electrodes with nipples, customization and third-party inspection reports.
Overseas graphite electrode prices are rising as GrafTech and Tokai Carbon move to raise prices amid higher needle coke, energy and logistics costs. China-made UHP, HP and RP graphite electrodes remain stable in supply, with Dongyuan Carbon supporting Phi200-Phi800mm specifications and long-term export cooperation.
China’s graphite electrode industry is phasing out low-grade capacity in 2026. Handan Dongyuan supplies HP and UHP electrodes made from premium needle coke, with ash below 0.3% and complete batch inspection reports.
Needle coke costs stabilize in July 2026 as Chinese UHP and HP graphite electrode prices level off. Get current FOB quotations and delivery schedules.
With tensions rising between Russia and Ukraine,Europe and the United States and other countries have intensified sanctions against Russia ,Some of Russia's biggest industrial companies, such as Severstal steel, have also announced that they will stop supplying the EU.Affected by this, the recent rise in global commodity prices as a whole, especially some products closely related to Russia (such a
China needle coke prices up 500-1000 yuan. Main positive factors for the market : First, the market starts to run at a low level, the market supply is reduced, high-quality needle coke resources are tight, and the price is good.
