One-body horizontal continuous casting apparatus and methods of deoxidation, and refining of phosphorized copper using said apparatus

摘要

The present invention relates to a one-body continuous casting apparatus for fabricating a rod or slab shape of phosphorized copper by means of using a horizontal continuous casting process. Such invention contemplates designing and manufacturing a one-body melting and casting machine using high or low frequency induction heating, wherein a molten metal is deoxidized and refined in the system which comprises installing the multistage graphite filters inside the melting and casting machine, so the procedure of transferring the molten metal from the melting furnace to the casting machine can be eliminated, thereby enabling the horizontal continuous casting apparatus to manufacture a phosphorized copper of high quality. Furthermore, the present invention encompasses a technique of solidifying the molten metal quickly by using a cooling system with a rapid cooling capability to manufacture small diameter rods of phosphorized copper of 30~60 mmPHI either with the least or without the additional treatment processes. Therefore, the apparatus saves the trouble of having to go through the traditional treatment process such as billet extrusion, yet manufactures the phosphorized copper rods directly from the apparatus to save in terms of money and energy in manufacturing process and in apparatus construction.
