Copper mould tubes are essential components in continuous casting machines (CCM) for producing high-quality metal billets, especially copper and copper alloys. They play a crucial role in controlling the solidification and shaping of metal during casting.
Raw Materials of Copper Mould Tubes
Different types of copper mould tubes use various materials depending on the application:
- Cu-DHP: Used for mould tubes with section sizes below 180x180mm and round tubes below Dia.150mm.
- Cu-Ag: Suitable for larger mould tubes with section sizes above 180x180mm and round tubes above Dia.150mm.
- Cu-Cr-Zr: Designed for beam blank mould tubes, offering high strength and thermal conductivity.
These materials differ in hardness and thermal conductivity. Selecting the right material ensures uniform shell growth and high-quality billets. Contact us at cykc@cykcgrouo.com.cn to choose the best material for your needs.
Types of Copper Mould Tubes
Copper mould tubes come in various shapes and sizes to fit different casting applications:
