ʻO ka pahu graphite (boat graphite) ponoʻī he halihali, hiki iā mākou ke kau i nā mea maka a me nā ʻāpana a mākou e pono ai e huli a hoʻopau paha i ka hoʻolālā ma kahi o ka hoʻomehana wela kiʻekiʻe. Hana ʻia ka pahu graphite i ka graphite hana e ka hana mechanical. No laila i kekahi manawa kapa ʻia ia he pahu graphite, i kekahi manawa kapa ʻia ia he moku graphite. Hoʻohana nui ʻia ka pahu graphite i nā kapuahi kūpale kūpale, nā umu hoʻokomo, nā umu kuhi hewa, nā kapuahi kuni, nā kapuahi nitridation ion, nā kapuahi hoʻoheheʻe tantalum niobium, nā kapuahi kine kinai, a pēlā aku.
