Analysis and improvement of water leakage causes of electrode rod in 24 ton protective atmosphere electroslag furnace
During the operation of the 24T protective atmosphere electroslag furnace in Zhonghang Shangda Superalloys Co.,Ltd,water leakage of the electrode rod occurred many times,and the leakage point was located at the chuck at the bottom of the electrode rod.After replacing the sealing sleeve and sealing strip,there was no sig-nificant improvement effect,so the electrode rod was disassembled to analyze the root cause and solve it.By disas-sembling and measuring the electrode rod,the sealing sleeve was optimized and modified.After the modification,there was no water leakage during testing and production.
