Graphite crucible furnace technology as a basis of highest quality coper redraw rod

$15.00

Causes of wire breaks in drawing to superfine magnet wire have been analyzed through the complete manufacturing cycle from rod casting to finished wire. Graphite crucible furnace technology as the basis for molten copper containment in production of copper wire rod contributes significantly towards the elimination of refractory particle inclusions. This paper describes the development and refinement of graphite furnace technology, as applied to copper wire rod production in a global context.
