STRENGTHENED GRAPHITE-METAL THREADED CONNECTION

摘要

STRENGTHENED GRAPHITE-METAL THREADED CONNECTION The threaded connection between a graphite shaft and a metal shaft, such as is used to drive a rotating nozzle in the resisting of aluminum, is strengthened by coating the graphite surface that contact the flange portion of the metal shaft prior to the fastening of said shafts together. The coating of said graphite shaft serves to greatly strengthen the threaded connection and the ability of said connection to transmit driving torque from the metal shaft to the graphite shaft.
