Description

Cast steel anode yoke

What’s cast steel anode yoke for electronic aluminum industry?

Generally, the method to get primary aluminum is electrolysis of aluminum oxide. The anode yoke is a necessary component of the electrolysis device. Usually, the anode yoke consists of beam and paw. The anode yoke is fixed with anode block and the main function is conducting between the block and the solution of aluminum oxide. Through the huge current, the anode block will turn into carbon dioxide and the solution will turn into pure aluminum. The process will generate high temperate around 950’C~970°C.

What’s is the function of OEM cast steel anode yoke?

Supports the anode assembly: The yoke holds the anode blocks (typically made of carbon) in place within the electrolytic cell.

Conducts electric current: It serves as a conductive bridge between the anode rodss and the anode blocks, ensuring efficient current transfer.

Adjusts anode position: Allows for vertical movement to maintain optimal anode-cathode distance as the anode wears down during electrolysis.

What’s the material of customized casting anode yoke claw or hexapods?

Baoding Guokun, the professional China casting factory, mainly produce the OEM anode yoke, cast steel claw, six claws anode yoke in various cast steel or alloy steel, such as ASTM A36, ASTM A27, A148, Q235, BS3100 A1, AISI 1010, etc. ASTM A36 is a widely used and cost-effective structural steel grade commonly used in various construction and manufacturing projects, which is with good mechanical properties and weldability.

Equipped with various CNC center, CNC lathe, others machining machinery and the complete quality inspection devices for mechanical testing, chemical analysis and dimensions, spectrometer, CMM, hardness tester, ultrasonic tester and other special testing devices can help Baoding Guokun’s cast steel anode yoke with tight dimension tolerances which follows industry-specific design requirements (e.g., RUSAL, Alcoa, or CHALCO standards). Baoding Guokun, China sand casting factory, can issue the conduct various testing, such as ultrasonic inspection, hardness testing and load-bearing checks.

How to produce the cast steel anode yoke paw?

What is lost foam casting process?

Lost-foam casting is a type of evaporative-pattern casting process that is similar to investment casting except foam is used for the pattern instead of wax. The lost foam casting techniques take advantage of the low boiling point of polymer foams to simplify the investment casting process by removing the need of melt the wax out of the mold. Compared with investment casting method and sand casting techniques, lost foam casting is one of the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly metal casting process for creating complex and intricate metal parts by using a foam pattern that evaporates when molten metal is poured into it:

Lost foam casting process
Create the foam pattern	Create the foam pattern: The pattern is made from pre-expanded polystyrene (EPS) that is heated in an aluminum die to expand and fuse the beads. The pattern can be carved, machined, or created using injection molding.
Coat the foam	A ceramic refractory coating is applied to the foam to protect it from the sand and create a barrier
Compact the sand	The foam pattern is placed in a flask and surrounded by unbonded sand, which is compacted using a vibration table.
Pour the metal	Pour the metal: Molten metal is poured into the flask, causing the foam to evaporate and leaving behind the metal
Remove the coating	Remove the coating: The refractory coating is removed to expose the metal part.
Surface treatment	Sandblasting and machine process.
