NOUFERROUS METALLURGICAL EQUIPMENT

The anode guide rod component is one of the important components in the production of electrolytic aluminum. At present， the anode guide rod components are mostly repaired manually. This method has problems such as high labor intensity， low repair efficiency， and unstable quality， which can lead to detachment， cracking， or reduced lifespan of the anode guide rod components during the production stage. This article introduces a full process automated repair solution for anode guide rod assembly. This plan covers narrow gap full section welding process and equipment， anode steel claw repair technology and equipment based on resistance thermal pressure welding， and automation technology and equipment for the entire process of aluminum guide rod repair. The application of this solution can repair more than 40 sets of components per day， extend the service life by more than half， reduce the labor intensity of operators， and save more than 15kW·h of electricity per ton of aluminum in the electrolytic aluminum industry.
