Re-use of a Graphite Pump - Not a Warped Idea!

Unlike stainless steel pumps, graphite pumps can be quickly and easily reintroduced into the molten metal bath, and the pump will operate with the same efficiency as when removed from the melt. This capability is because graphite retains its structural and dimensional integrity while stainless steel becomes flexible and deforms at molten metal operating temperatures. Once removed from the metal bath, especially an aluminum bath, the stainless steel pump must be discarded due to excessive deformation.
