eo ea are eleo produced in the SAG Plant in Pieateritz (N 52/E 37). **
The electrodes produced to the Soviet Zone are mainly exported to the Ph.st.
They are also needed in the alun num industry.
bnN
1a In December 1950 or January 1951 the SAG Siemens Plania plant in Berlin..
Lichtenberg made a contract with the Mensen Plant in Nedfstadt am
Rttebenberge/Iiannovor (L 53/X 13) for the delivery of special coal tisr for
the production of electrodes. * The first shipment of about 250 tons was
scheduled to leave soon thereafter. The Soviet Zone of Germany depends
on coal tar imports because the quality of the coal tar produced in the
Soviet Zone is not always adequate for standard requirements.
2. The capacity for producing electrodes at the Siemens Plania Plant ,me
doubled from 1949 to 1950. In addition to the Siemens Plania Plant,
l t
d
silicon (Silit) factory, the arc lamp carbon D faotry, '~ ar -brush the carbon nfactory and the factory for furnace construction. The production of the
plant is subdivided into the production groups "Grosekoblen", "11eirkohlen"
and""Silit*.
The "Grosskohlen" production group comprises the following productions carbide
electrodes for the production of calcium carbide, and calcium oyanamide;
carbon electrodes for reduction furnace, for manufacturing ferro.-sil.ioon,
ferro-ohrcmium, ferro-nolybdenumt, Ferro-vanadiimt, corundum, and for electric
steel furnao~es of old design; aluminum anodes for the production of pure
aluminum; carbon stones made of shaped coal (geformte Noble) for blast
furnace Brings and furnace bottoms; electrode masses for Soederberg electrodes;
graphite electrodes for the electric steel production in arc lamp furnaces;
graphite plates and rode for the liquid (waeoserige) electrolysis, especially
for the chlorine alkali electrolysis; graphite for special purposes, especially
for hard metal production such as tungsten carbide for cutting tools and
armor,-piercing aheUs.
