MANUFACTURE OF COPPER WIRE ROD

摘要

A process for the manufacture of copper wire rod, in which liquid copper is cast in a continuous casting machine provided with an inclined straight moulding cavity to produce a continuous bar of copper, comprising guiding said bar as it leaves the casting device towards a horizontal rolling machine known "per se" along a curved path, the maximum curvature of the curved path being less than 0.25 m<->1 thus preventing the formation of cracks in the hot bar, and converting the said bar into wire rod in the said rolling machine.
