In the production of an electrode for an arc furnace from a hardenable electrode paste and in which the arc current is fed to the electrode via a current supply unit, an electrode heater is arranged, in the direction of feeding down of the electrode into the furnace upstream of the current supply unit, said electrode heater supplying thermal energy to the electrode paste for the purpose of baking the latter, the formation of the electrode from the paste taking place in a casing which is not consumed in the arcing. |
