PATIKIL Graphite Stirring Rods 5-Pack - 100x5mm For Metal Casting & Melting

Metalworkers and jewelers, these graphite stirring rods are incredibly useful for all your casting and melting projects! This 5-pack gives you plenty of rods for stirring molten metals like silver, gold, copper, and other alloys. Each rod measures 100mm long by 5mm in diameter (about 4x0.2 inches), made from high-purity graphite that's seriously durable. The compressive strength is 75mpa with flexural strength of 35mpa, and they have a bulk density of 1.82g/cm³ with resistivity between 9-11Ω·m - basically, these things are tough and handle high temperatures like champs. The smooth surface makes cleaning easy, and they offer excellent electrical conductivity, thermal shock resistance, and corrosion resistance. When you're working with hot metals, you can even tie these to a longer iron rod or wooden chopsticks to extend your reach and avoid burns. They're perfect for use as graphite electrodes too. Just remember safety first - always be careful around molten metals and wear proper protective gear. These rods are essential tools for anyone involved in metal casting, jewelry making, or foundry work. Having multiple rods means you can always have a clean one ready to go when you need it!
