Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified as spent/unusable electrodes
Electrodes incapable of recharge or further electrical use due to excessive wear classify as spent primary cells.
If retreaded primarily for mechanical rather than electrical properties
Refurbished carbon shapes mainly for structural furnace use classify under non-electrical molded carbon articles.
If part of complete electrode retreading machinery
Retreaded electrodes imported with refurbishment machine classify under industrial machinery parts.
