Description

The copper scrap recycling technology of La Farga–Properzi has been well known the world over since 1986. The application of new technologies and market pressure have forced La Farga to develop a new family of copper rod produced from 100-percent copper scrap with high performance properties. Drawability, annealability, and electrical conductivity are very similar to that of copper rod produced from cathodes, despite the presence of different impurities. This paper presents a comparison of parameters of the different copper rods and their applications.
