In this research experiment computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models were constructed, within Ansys Fluent TM v.R1, to investigate phenomena occurring during the Vertically Upwards Continuous Casting (VUCC) of 8 mm diameter, oxygen free copper (OFCu) for alterations to the casting speed. The simulated influence of heat transported over a 0.1 mm air gap formed within the casting die was investigated and a value for the die wall heat transfer coefficient (hc) of (9.0 ± 0.2) 104 W/m2K, was extracted. Using this value for hc, simulations of the entire casting crucible and die were made for casting speed settings: pushback motion at 0.06 m/s, average; dwell motion (pause) at 0.05 m/s, average; and continuous motions at 0.022 m/s, 0.015 m/s and 0.008 m/s; and were validated against literature values for measured thermal distribution within the casting die. The fastest casting speed for 8 mmOFCu was investigated and a trend between simulated solidification front and measured grain growth direction was identified, highlighting, the casting motions pushback and dwell yield improved casting conditions. Fluid flow rate was investigated within the casting crucible and showed a small influence on casting due to natural convection relative to flow within the die, 0.001 ± 0.0005 m/s compared with 0.1 ± 0.01 m/s for pushback casting, respectively.]]>

Report:- Copper has been utilised throughout early human existence as a disinfectant used to clean wounds and prevent infection. However, following the birth of antibiotics and pharmaceutical drugs, the use of copper as an antimicrobial material severely declined. Copper as an antimicrobial surface agent is now beginning to re-emerge in medical institutions due to the rise of viruses and drug resistant bacteria, known as “superbugs”, over the past century. Yet, many institutions are hesitant on the reimplementation of copper as a surface agent. This project aims to demonstrate the antimicrobial effectiveness of copper and its alloys against an E. Coli O157:H7 strain as well as displaying the potential applications that an antimicrobial copper surface agent can be applied to. Henceforth, the purpose of this project is to formulate a systematic literature review, whereby the results from other research papers will be compared and adopted into a novel concept of attempting to track bacterial transmission through the use of a video-based monitoring system.]]>

It is well documented that the addition of antimony in pure lead increases tensile strength and reduced elongation.

Rautomead Technology for Continuous Casting of Oxygen-free Copper, Copper-magnesium and Copper Conductor Alloys We offer copper continuous casting technology and a range of copper wire and cable continuous casting machines. The copper rod continuous casting machines are specifically designed for the processing of electrolytically-refined grade 'A' copper feedstock to produce 8.0mm diameter wire rods. They may be configured to produce rod up to 22.0mm diameter if required. The machines are intended to be operated for long periods of uninterrupted production of continuous cast copper wire rod. RS machines are configured as integrated melting, holding and casting units, featuring graphite crucibles, protected in an inert gas atmosphere with high intensity graphite resistance heating. RDG machines feature large Induction furnace technology. Machines are either single furnace integrated melting and casting or dual furnace with cathode melter feeding a holding furnace, depending on production output. continuous casting machines for copper wire & cable operating costs Rautomead have paid great attention to minimising the cost of operating the machine. Furnaces are totally enclosed and built up using high performance insulations to achieve minimum economic heat loss. Casting dies are inexpensive and may be changed individually RS 3000 CuMg machine with graphite crucible technology is ideally suited for production of high quality copper magnesium alloy wire rod. The graphite crucible removes oxygen from cathode feedstock which minimises losses of the magnesium alloying element. Technology available for high magnesium content (0.4 – 0.6% Mg) alloy rod for use in the manufacture of overhead contact wires and cables for high speed trains, also for low magnesium content (0.1 -0.2% Mg) alloy rod for use in the manufacture of small diameter automotive data communication cables. Rautomead technology is being used by suppliers of CuMg catenary contact wires on European High Speed train lines. The massive construction project in progress in China to build 15,000 – 20,000km of new high speed train track features CuMg contact wires made from rods produced on Rautomead technology installed at cable factories around China.]]>

billet, rod, or tube are continuous cast, defined as the continuous solidification and withdrawal of product from an open-ended shaping mold. Methods include both vertical and horizontal casting, depending on product size, shape, and volume. Casting vertically has certain inherent technical advantages. The symmetry of cooling promotes a uniform and predictable solidification growth pattern and uniform axial loading on the freshly solidified shell as it is withdrawn from the mold. In tube or hollow section casting, the vertical process has particular merit. The disadvantages of vertical casting are mostly logistic: difficulty in handling long lengths of section; cut-off can be more difficult to engineer and control; and it is generally a semicontinuous operation. Horizontal casting requires lower capital investment, is compatible with lower production rates, and is a continuous operation.

Abstract. Deoxidized High Phosphorus (DHP) Copper tubes are frequently used in numerous industrial and household applications. To ensure the acceptability of DHP copper tubes prepared by various industrial processes, the quality of the DHP copper tubes must be evaluated and one of the best ways to do so is to examine the microstructure and metallography and quantify grain size. In this paper the authors considered the average grain size of copper tube samples made traditionally as well as by the planetary rolling and CastTube process. Because of the small thickness of the CastTube samples, in certain circumstances traditional methods of grain counting were not plausible and a new procedure for grain counting needed developed. This paper is about the development and evaluation of grain sizes in continuously cast tube samples using both the planimetric procedure (ASTM E112) and a new method, which will be herby, referred to as the “total grain counting method”. This paper also concludes that there is a large difference in the grain size of tubes with different manufacturing methods. ]]>

On first reading, it might seem strange that Rautomead, a leading company specialising in continuous casting technology, should publish a Practical Guide on wire drawing practice in the copper wire and cable industry. Since 1994, Rautomead has supplied over fifty oxygen-free copper (Cu-OF) rod casting machines to companies all over the world, the majority of whose previous experience had been exclusively in using only tough pitch copper (Cu-ETP) rod. By its nature, the behaviour of Cu-OF in the initial stages of rod breakdown from 8mm as-cast rod is a little different from Cu-ETP. Minor changes to die drafts in older rod breakdown machines are recommended to achieve greater area reductions than may have been used previously. Rautomead is fortunate to have David Bluck as a member of the company’s technical staff. David has many years previous experience of technical management in the wire drawing industry and has been able to assist Rautomead customers both in the introduction of Cu-OF rod into their existing wire drawing lines and more generally in optimising performance of their wire drawing operations. This Practical Guide is designed to encapsulate the most common issues Rautomead has encountered in copper wire drawing, to classify the types of faults occurring and to offer practical guidelines as to how these should be overcome. The information in this advisory paper is given in good faith and with the objective of providing practical assistance. It is intended to supplement the place of technical information which may be provided for their equipment by wire drawing equipment manufacturers. Sir Michael Nairn Chairman Rautomead Limited ]]>

Rautomead Newsletter issue 01 continuouscasting.com For over 30 years Rautomead Limited has specialised in the design and manufacture of continuous casting equipment for non-ferrous metals and alloys. There are now more than 300 Rautomead machines in operation in over 45 different countries worldwide. Rautomead plants are being successfully applied to production of oxygen-free copper, a wide range of copper-based alloys, precious metals and zinc. Forms include wire rod, straight length bars, flats and hollow sections. According to material and section, the casting process selected may be vertical upwards, vertical downwards or horizontal. The machines may be used either as integrated melting, holding and casting machines, or may be arranged to be fed with pre-alloyed molten metal. The Rautomead Continuous Casting System is based on electric resistance heating of its furnaces, with graphite containment crucibles, graphite heating elements and casting dies.
