[0002] The casting mold insert is composed of metal, refractory materials, and insulating materials. Its development process includes: ① In the design stage, the shape, size, and material type of the insert need to be determined based on the required mold size, shape, and usage environment; ② Material preparation includes mixing refractory, metal, and insulating materials in proportion and pre-treating them, such as drying, to ensure that the materials are in a suitable state; ③ Mold making requires cutting, stamping, or casting into the required shape according to the design drawings; ④ The processing stage involves grinding, cutting, or drilling as needed; ⑦ The processed mold insert is assembled into the required mold to complete the development process.

[0003] After the inserts are welded, to effectively reduce thermal stress, they are typically placed in a heat-insulating furnace for slow cooling. However, most existing heat-insulating furnaces rely on electricity to maintain their insulation effect, which poses a significant limitation when used in locations without power. Furthermore, common heat-insulating furnaces are mostly horizontal in design, occupying a large amount of space and hindering efficient space utilization. Utility Model Content
