Zusammenfassung:A process for preparing pins for connecting carbon electrodes is presented. In particular, a process for preparing pins for connecting carbon electrodes including the steps of combining calcined coke, a liquid pitch binder and carbon fibers derived from mesophase pitch to form a pinstock blend; extruding the pinstock blend to form a green pinstock; baking the green pinstock to form a carbonized pinstock; and graphitizing the carbonized pinstock by maintaining the carbonized pinstock at a temperature of at least about 2500° C. for no more than about 18 hours is presented. The pins prepared by the inventive process are also presented.
