The invention relates to a process for manufacturing graphite electrodes. According to the invention, the process consists in mixing the starting material comprising calcined petroleum coke with pitch, in a first step, then in homogenizing the mixture at a temperature of 100 ... 120 degree C for one hour, adding extrusion oil, and further extruding said mixture, and treating the manufactured raw electrode thermally by baking at a temperature of 130 degree C, in the absence of air, and then graphitizing it in a high voltage field, and finally machining the resulting electrodes, thereby obtaining electrodes with improved properties. The extrusion oil is prepared by the distillation of the coal tar and is further mixed with ammonium carbonate as additive or treated with ammonia up to a ph=10 ... 12.
