Production process and product advantages of C61400 copper rod:

1. Production process

Raw material processing and smelting

The production of C61400 copper rod usually uses scrap copper and high-purity cathode copper as the main raw materials. After the raw materials are inspected by radiation and manually sorted to remove impurities, they enter the smelting stage. The smelting temperature is controlled at 1050℃-1100℃, and alloy materials such as electrolytic copper and zinc ingots are added to adjust the composition. At the same time, slag removers and industrial salts are used for refining to improve purity.

2. Extrusion molding and processing

Extrusion process: A large-tonnage reverse extruder (such as 38MN equipment) is used to form copper ingots through high-pressure extrusion. This process can cover a variety of alloy grades, improve product density and surface smoothness, reduce bruises, and significantly improve the yield rate.

Subsequent processing: The extruded copper rods need to go through processes such as stretching, sawing, annealing (such as natural gas heating to 800℃), pickling, lubrication, etc., and finally pass quality inspection and packaging.

Short process technology: Some companies use continuous casting and automated production lines to shorten the production cycle and reduce energy consumption.

Environmental protection and energy saving

Low-carbon technologies such as variable frequency energy-saving motors and natural gas heating are applied in the production process, and scraps are recycled (sold or recycled) to reduce solid waste emissions.

2. Product advantages

Excellent mechanical properties

High strength: The ultimate strength can reach 600 MPa, which is suitable for the manufacture of heavy machinery parts (such as wear-resistant gears and marine composite plates).

High wear resistance: It exhibits excellent anti-scouring and wear resistance in chemical equipment and marine engineering.

Excellent corrosion resistance

In marine environments and oxygen-containing conditions, C61400 copper rods form a dense oxide film due to the aluminum bronze component (containing aluminum, iron and other elements), and the corrosion resistance is far superior to ordinary copper alloys, especially suitable for condenser tubes, corrosion-resistant containers and other scenes.

Good processing performance

Good hot and cold processing, can be customized by bending, welding, punching and other processing.

Excellent weldability and ductility, suitable for complex parts manufacturing.

Thermal properties and conductivity

Thermal conductivity: As aluminum bronze, its thermal conductivity is better than mold steel. When used in plastic molds, it can shorten the cooling time by 40% and improve production efficiency.

It has moderate conductivity and is suitable for electrical connectors and electronic components (such as brushes and terminals).

Wide application areas

It covers marine engineering, chemical equipment, machinery manufacturing (such as bathroom hardware, auto parts), electrical engineering and aerospace.
