In the highly demanding field of steel continuous casting, where precision and reliability are paramount, the performance of molds directly affects production efficiency and the quality of the final product. As a leading exporter of copper molds in the industry, CYKC Group is committed to providing global customers, especially in the Nepalese market, with high-performance copper mold tube solutions that can withstand extreme thermal stress, achieve maximum heat transfer, and offer exceptional durability.
Core Manufacturing Process: The Foundation of Precision and Reliability
We understand that outstanding products start with advanced manufacturing processes. CYKC Group’s copper mold tubes are manufactured using the industry’s top technology integration:
Precision CNC Machining: Relying on large, medium and small CNC machining centers, we ensure that every mold tube and template has perfect dimensional accuracy, laying a foundation for stable and efficient continuous casting production.
Advanced Hydraulic Forming Technology: Mold structure uniformity and internal quality are guaranteed by using hydraulic press forming technology, which can better withstand mechanical stress during continuous operation.
Independent Professional Electroplating: We have an independent electroplating workshop for mold tubes and plates, equipped with 32Cr electroplating tanks. This process endows the mold surface with excellent wear resistance and anti-sticking properties, significantly extending its service life and ensuring a smooth surface of the cast billet.

Superior material durability: We select high-performance copper alloy materials to ensure that molds can withstand high temperatures, thermal cycling stress, and fatigue for a long time.
Highly customizable flexibility: We have strong customization capabilities and can process mold tubes with diameters up to 1500 millimeters and templates with widths up to 3800 millimeters, flexibly meeting diverse production needs.
Core Product Features
Excellent thermal conductivity: Accelerates the cooling of molten steel, making the solidification more uniform and improving the internal structure quality.
Outstanding fatigue resistance and heat resistance: Maintains stable performance under extreme temperature cycles, significantly extending the service life of the mold.
Smooth surface quality: Precision machining combined with electroplating minimizes surface defects of the casting billet.
Advantages of high-performance alloys: Advanced copper alloys are adopted to significantly enhance wear resistance, thermal deformation resistance, and overall mechanical properties.
Professional Materials Science: Meeting Diverse Needs
We offer a variety of high-end copper alloy materials to meet different performance and budget requirements:
TP2 copper: An economical and reliable standard choice, it features good heat resistance, fatigue resistance, and is easy to process and maintain. It is widely used in various steel mills.
CuAg0.1 (copper-silver alloy): silver content 0.08% – 0.12%. Our Cu-Cr-Zr alloy maintains a recrystallization temperature approximately 100°C higher than TP2. This significantly enhances wear resistance and sustains performance at elevated temperatures.
Copper-chromium-zirconium alloy (Cu-Cr-Zr): It represents top-tier performance. It features extremely high mechanical strength at both room temperature and high temperatures, with outstanding thermal conductivity and fatigue resistance. It is specifically designed for long-term, high-stress high-speed continuous casting operations. Although it has a higher cost and processing difficulty, the value of the increased lifespan and performance it offers is significant.
