CASTING MOLD FOR ANODE FOR ELECTROLYSIS

摘要

PURPOSE:To cool efficiently a mold and to extend the life thereof by providing a water hole for cooling to the inside of the mold in a way as to incline gradually downward the more distant from a receiving tray part side. CONSTITUTION:The mold 10 is cooled by the cooling water which flows around the mold, is collected in the receiving tray part 12 and is then discharged through the water hole 13 for cooling. The mold 10 is therefore cooled not only by the cooling water distributed equally from above but also from the inside part by the cooling water flowing in large amt. into the hole 13. The cooling efficiency of the mold 10 is thereupon remarkably improved. The temp. of the mold 10 in which the melt of blister copper is poured is maintained at a low temp. and the burn on of the cast anode 8 is prevented. The progression of erosion on the casting surface 3a of a cavity 3 is consequently prevented and the surface 3a is maintained smooth for a long period of time and therefore the life of the mold 10 is extended.
