Abstract
A fluid-cooled holder for the tip of an electrode of an electric arc smelting furnace, having a cylindrical holding portion which can be secured to an electrode support arm, a metal cooling system which is secured to the holding portion and which carries a screw-threaded portion for screwing on the electrode tip, and also having a tubular heat screen which is disposed around the cooling system at a spacing and which comprises a metal tube (11, 11a) which is electrically insulated with respect to the current-carrying cooling system (3, 3a) and which can be sufficiently cooled, by way of a refractory substance (17, 17a) between the cooling system and the metal tube, for the temperature of the metal tube to be kept to a value below the softening temperature of the material of the metal tube, when the holder is used in an electric arc smelting furnace.
