Production Process of 8mm Copper Rod

The production of 8mm copper rod typically involves the Continuous Casting and Rolling (CCR) method, which is efficient and widely used in the industry. Here’s an outline of the process:

1. Continuous Casting

• Electrolytic copper cathodes are melted in a furnace.
• The molten copper is poured into a water-cooled mold to create a continuous cast bar (billet).
• The cast bar is then fed into the rolling mill for further processing.

2. Hot Rolling

• The cast bar is passed through a series of rolling mills to gradually reduce its diameter to 8mm.
• This process ensures the rod achieves uniformity in shape and structure.

3. Cooling and Coiling

• After hot rolling, the rod is cooled using a water spray or air-cooling system.
• The finished 8mm rod is coiled into large bundles for easier handling and transportation.

4. Surface Treatment (Optional)

• The rod may undergo cleaning or oxidation prevention treatments to ensure a high-quality surface finish.

5. Annealing (If Required)

• In some cases, the rod may be annealed to enhance its ductility and mechanical properties, depending on the intended application.
