Boron Graphite shafts are an Alloy of Carbon Fiber with Boron(Metal Element) Weaved along the side the carbon fiber strands. The best graphite Iron shafts ever made all have this in them, Some examples are the Yonex Tour irons that Phil Mickelson played, they had Yonex LTB-600 shafts(Low-torque-boron) and G.Loomis Tour shafts as well(G.Loomis also makes HIGH END fishing rods. Boron significantly improves the the tip and bend profile of the shaft and also makes it stronger, Boron significantly reduces the torque of a shaft, The Loomis tour's and Yonex ltb-600 shafts have lower torque numbers that TT Dynamic Gold steel shafts.
The graphite used in graphite moderated nuclear reactors is produced in the same type of electrical furnace as is used to produce ordinary graphite, except there must be no boron in any part of the furnace.
The companies that make shafts for golf clubs will have a specification listed on the shaft itself such as "Stiff" of "Juniors". We call it "Flex". The flex standard may be the same on a graphite or steel shaft made by one company and nearly the same as made by another company. It is kind of like sizes for cloths. Both graphite and steel shafts come in "Stiff" flex. Companies may use the word "Mens" in place of "Stiff" or "Juniors" in place of a "not so stiff" shaft. Consult with your local Golf Coach or Golf Professional and they can explain more about the flex in a shaft or other things like "kick points" in a shaft.
No, boron and boron citrate are not the same. Boron is a chemical element, while boron citrate is a compound formed by combining boron with citric acid. Boron citrate is often used as a dietary supplement for its potential health benefits.
Yes, they can. However steel shafts that are long enough to be a driver shaft are very uncommon, this is because they are so heavy and not as good as graphite ones. If you find a steel shaft that you would like put into your driver you will need to check the tip diameters are the same and your local pro or clubmaker should be able to do it for you easily.
Boron is from the 3A family, the same as Aluminium.
No they are in the same group. Boron is in the 2d period, thallium is in the 6th
Graphite shafts are lighter and more flexible, which can help increase swing speed and distance. Steel shafts are heavier and offer more control and accuracy due to their rigidity. The choice between graphite and steel shafts ultimately comes down to personal preference and playing style.
No, boron and silicon are not in the same group on the periodic table. Boron belongs to group 13, while silicon belongs to group 14.
is the drive shaft the same as the intermediate shaft on a vauxhall corsa car does any body no
carbon and graphite are one in the same, graphite is a form of carbon a use for graphite is the lead in your pencil (it's not actually lead, it's graphite) and it is also a good lubricant ;)
No they do not.
