Graphite Rotors and Shafts are essential components used in various industries, particularly in metallurgy. Here are some of the main purposes:

​

1.    Degassing: Graphite rotors and shafts are used in the treatment of molten metal to remove impurities such as hydrogen and other gases. The degassing process involves the injection of inert gas through the graphite rotor into the molten metal, allowing the gases to escape. This process significantly improves the quality of cast aluminum.
2.    Kinetic Mixing: They allow for a more efficient kinetic mixing of metal and help decrease hydrogen and impurity levels in molten aluminum systems.
3.    Increased Speed and Improved Feel: Graphite iron shafts offer a key advantage over their steel counterparts in terms of weight. By being able to be produced lighter, these shafts enable golfers to generate higher clubhead speeds. Increased swing speed translates to greater power, resulting in longer iron shots. The lightweight nature of graphite shafts also contributes to enhanced maneuverability, enabling more precise ball control and consistency in swing patterns.
4.    Vibration Dampening: Graphite iron shafts offer vibration-reducing technology that reduces wear and tear on your joints during lengthy practice sessions.

One of their primary uses is in the treatment of molten metal to remove impurities such as hydrogen and other gases. This process, known as degassing, involves the injection of inert gas through the graphite rotor into the molten metal, allowing the gases to escape. They allow for a more efficient kinetic mixing of metal and help decrease hydrogen and impurity levels in molten aluminum systems. This process significantly improves the quality of cast aluminum.

Applications of Graphite Rotors and Shafts :

1.    Aluminum Foundries: Graphite Degassing Units are systems used for degassing hydrogen from molten aluminum. During the smelting process of aluminum, or aluminum alloys, hydrogen is produced through a chemical reaction with steam. The Graphite Degassing Units are assemblies of a graphite rotor and a graphite degassing tube (shaft).
2.    Golf Industry: Graphite iron shafts offer a key advantage over their steel counterparts in terms of weight. By being able to be produced lighter, these shafts enable golfers to generate higher clubhead speeds. Increased swing speed translates to greater power, resulting in longer iron shots.
3.    Propeller Shafts in Small Ships: Graphite shafts are used in propeller shafts in small ships.
4.    Aircraft Power Take Off (PTO) Shaft: Graphite shafts are used in aircraft power take off shafts.
5.    High Speed Machine Tool Spindles: Graphite shafts are used in high speed machine tool spindles.
6.    Transmission/Quill Shafts: Graphite shafts are used in transmission/quill shafts.
7.    Long Boring Bars: Graphite shafts are used in long boring bars.
