Dumbell Shaped Alpha Rod is made oversized to increase cold end cross section, lowering electrical resistance, thereby lowering cold end operating temperature. Silcarb Recrystallized [P] Ltd supplies Dumbell Shaped Alpha Rod. Silcarb Recrystallized [P] Ltd is the manufacturer of Silicon carbide Heating elements for melting and holding of non-ferrous metals, wire galvanising furnaces, lead baths etc. The Dumbell Shaped Alpha Rod is used to keep the terminal ends cool by virtue of the decreased resistivity of the lower resistance cold end material used in the manufacturing process.
