Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tool for fixing a fastening head on an electrode cast in a mold according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such tooling is intended to be used in particular in a transferred arc plasma torch furnace for melting and refining in a cooled copper crucible (referred to as “Plasma Arc Melting Cold Hearth Refining”), or in a furnace.
  • electron guns for melting and refining in a cooled crucible referred to as “Electron Beam Cold Hearth Refining”).
  • a metal electrode is then made in the furnace, by continuous casting.
  • An electrode is a cylindrical shaped ingot for remelting.
  • Falling metal materials are advantageously made of titanium alloy. More generally, they may be of other metallic materials such as noble metals.
  • the electrode is re-melted in a vacuum arc reflow oven, referred to as the "Vacuum Arc Remelting".
  • the electrode is evacuated and supplied with the melting stream in a crucible called ingot mold.
  • An electric arc is created between the free end of the electrode and the bottom of the mold, causing the progressive melting of the electrode.
  • the distance between the molten metal surface and the electrode is controlled during the fusion.
  • the electrode is continuously poured into the moulder ring of the melting and refining furnace by extracting it progressively from the mold by means of a pulling system. To do this, a dovetail-shaped mold bottom is used.
  • the solder serves both to support the weight of the electrode and to transmit the reflow current.
  • US 6,273,179 describes a method in which a mounting member of the attachment head is welded to the end of the electrode, directly in the moulder ring of the melting and refining furnace, during the formation of this electrode.
