Are you looking for durable, high-conductivity mould tubes for your steel plant?
Our copper mould tubes are engineered for continuous casting machines, offering excellent thermal performance, long service life, and precision manufacturing.
What is a Copper Mould Tube?
A copper mould tube is a seamless, high-purity copper tube designed for use in continuous casting equipment. It provides fast heat transfer, shapes the molten steel, and directly affects casting speed and billet quality.
Thanks to copper’s excellent thermal conductivity, low reactivity, and mechanical strength, it remains the preferred material in modern steel making.
Product Features
- Excellent thermal conductivity – enables rapid solidification of molten steel.
- Smooth internal surface – reduces friction, ensures clean billet surfaces.
- Corrosion and wear resistance – extends working life under high temperatures.
- Precision dimensions – strict tolerance control to fit casting machine.
Types of Copper Tubes Available
Our copper mould tubes come in a wide range of shapes and materials to meet different casting needs:
By Shape:
- Round mould tubes.
- Square mould tubes.
- Rectangular mould tubes.
- Inner ribbed and outer ribbed mould tubes.
- Special shapes: oval, hexagonal, spiral, and more.
By Alloy:
- Pure copper mould tubes.
- Brass mould tubes.
- Phosphorus deoxidized copper.
- Chromium-zirconium copper (Cu-Cr-Zr) for higher hardness.
Technical Processing Standards
We manufacture and inspect each copper mould tube based on strict standards:
- Accurate sizing according to drawings.
- Clean cuts – no burrs, smooth ends.
- Internal cleanliness – no oil, copper shavings, or oxidation.
- Protective welding with nitrogen – ensures tube quality.
- Final air-blow cleaning – using 2.8–3.0 MPa dry compressed air.
Advanced Processing Capabilities
We also provide high-precision custom processing:
- Precision cutting, bending, forming, and sharpening.
- Multi-station stretch forming.
- Tube expansion and shrink fitting.
- Tube end closing and flaring.
- High-quality welding and polishing.
Applications
Copper mould tubes are widely used in:
- Continuous casting of billets, blooms, slabs.
- Steel plants.
- Metallurgical equipment manufacturing.
