Graphite Stopper Rod

The graphite stopper is a critical component of the molten metal flow control system and is used to regulate the flow of molten metal from the nozzle to the mold in casting systems.

Applications

These products are primarily used in casting processes for various metals, including gray cast iron, ductile iron, and aluminum and copper alloys. Graphite stoppers are produced in open-bottom and closed-bottom types for ductile and gray irons.
