step 2: the mould is transported for 25min, and in the transportation process, nitrogen is introduced into the mould for protection and cooling at a speed of 22 ℃/min for the first 15 min;
step 3: taking out tellurium ingots in the mould;
results: the surface of the tellurium ingot is cracked, which is caused by the fact that the surface of the tellurium ingot starts to solidify in the cooling process, but the temperature inside the tellurium ingot is too high, and the temperature difference between the inside and the outside of the tellurium ingot is too large, so that the surface generates stress when the tellurium ingot is cooled, and the surface is cracked.
