A casting and outputting system is provided. The system includes a casting machine, a disc body, a transfer device, a special fixture, a cooling tank, a collection device and a waste plate rack. The transfer device is configured to drive the special fixture to take out anode plates cast on the disc body, place a qualified one of the anode plates in the cooling tank, place an unqualified one of the anode plates on the waste plate rack, lift the anode plate cooled in the cooling tank, and place the cooled anode plate on the collection device for stacking.

The present invention provides a method for producing a Cu—Ni—Sn alloy, which achieves both productivity and product quality by reducing internal cracks and dispersing Sn uniformly while shortening the time for cooling an ingot. The method for producing a Cu—Ni—Sn alloy is a method for producing a Cu—Ni—Sn alloy by a continuous casting method or a semi-continuous casting method, the method including: pouring a molten Cu—Ni—Sn alloy from one end of a mold, both ends of which are open, and continuously drawing out the alloy as an ingot from the other end of the mold while solidifying a part of the alloy, the part being near the mold; performing primary cooling by spraying a liquid mist on the drawn-out ingot; and performing secondary cooling by immersing the ingot having been subjected to the primary cooling in a liquid, thereby making a cast product of the Cu—Ni—Sn alloy.

A method of cooling of a flat metal product having a broad face and a temperature upper to 400° C., wherein the metal product is put in contact with a fluidized bed of solid particles, the solid particles having a direction of circulation (D) and capturing the heat released by the metal product and transferring the captured heat to a transfer medium wherein the metal product is put in contact with the solid particles so that its broad face is parallel to the direction (D) of circulation of the solid particles, a thermal cooling path of the metal product is defined, considering the product parameters of the metal product, a gas is injected for fluidizing the solid particles in a bubbling regime, the injection flow rate of said gas being controlled to match the defined cooling path of the metal product.

A method and apparatus for measuring quench characteristics of a fluid. The apparatus includes a probe with an energy input device electrically connected to a display unit to monitor temperature, media flow characteristics and media heat transfer characteristics. The method includes continuously measuring thermal energy transfer in a quenching media by measuring the surrounding fluid's heat transfer relative to input probe energy.
