METHOD OF MANUFACTURING COOLING PLATES INTENDED FOR USE IN METALLURGICAL FURNACES AND A COOLING PLATE

摘要

A cooling plate comprising three portions on whose common boundary there are disposed expansion gaskets is manufactured by way of separate casting of a liquid metal into a mold. Prior to casting the iron, partitions with expansion gaskets are set into a mold, thereby forming molding cavities to obtain three portions of the plate, namely: an intermediate portion and portions comprising lead-out sections of the cooling pipes. The intermediate portion may similarly be divided into several portions. The invention may be used most advantageously for cooling down blast furnaces.
