Physical properties of artificial graphite electrodes were evaluated along three different directions; circumferential (X), radial(Y), and axial(Z) directions. FOur kinds of commercial electrode products were used in this study for the evailation; pole(AP) and nipple(AN) of manufacturer A pole (BP)and nipple(BN) of manufacturer B. Tje mechan-ical, electrical, and thermal properties in X and Y directions were very similar each other.
