Reinforced graphite rotor for melting aluminum

Reinforced graphite rotors are designed to be self-lubricating, resistant to wear, and impervious to most chemicals. They are also treated for oxidation resistance, which significantly increases their lifespan and efficiency. This makes them ideal for use in demanding environments such as aluminum smelting.

The working principle is that the rotating rotor breaks the nitrogen (or argon) in the molten aluminum melt into a large number of dispersed bubbles, and disperses it into the molten metal. This process enables more efficient kinetic mixing of metal and helps remove impurities such as hydrogen from the molten metal. The end result is the production of high-quality aluminum and its alloys.
 

Reinforced graphite rotors have a wide range of applications due to their high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness. 

1. Aluminum and Aluminum Alloy Smelting: They are primarily used in the degassing and fluxing operations during aluminum and aluminum alloy smelting.
2. Turbines and Compressors: Their ability to withstand high temperatures and resist corrosion makes them ideal for use in turbines, compressors, and various heavy machinery applications.
3. Power Generation: They have revolutionized power generation sectors by offering efficient and cost-effective solutions.
4. Automotive Drive Shafts: Application of composite to automotive drive shaft has been extensively studied and reported.
5. Propeller Shafts in Small Ships: They are used in propeller shafts in small ships.
6. Aircraft Power Take Off (PTO) Shafts: They are used in aircraft power take off (PTO) shafts.
7. High Speed Machine Tool Spindles: They are used in high speed machine tool spindles.
8. Transmission/Quill Shafts: They are used in transmission/quill shafts.
9. Long Boring Bars: They are used in long boring bars.

These applications leverage the unique properties of reinforced graphite rotors, such as their high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and self-lubricating nature.
