The paper considers the possibility of long-term operation of stationary two-section current-carrying moulds without a protective lining
in the current-carrying section. As a result of surfacing in the current-carrying moulds of various diameters (180, 150, 90, 70 mm),
it was found that the electroerosion of the metal surface of the current-carrying section mostly occurs in the lower part of its vertical
section, regardless of the material used for its manufacture (steel, copper). In some cases, erosion of the upper end of the moulding
section is also observed. The use of moulding compounds (chamotte) for its manufacture leads to failure of the section within one surfacing
cycle. Only replaceable electrically conductive linings provide guaranteed protection against erosion of the current-conducting
section. Increased durability of the moulding section can be achieved due to the special design of its upper end part. 10 Ref., 3 Fig.
