The continuous extrusion of copper powder into wire shapes

$15.00

This process involves solvent-extraction/electro-winning of powder from solution and continuous extrusion. Advantages included control of an ultra pure feedstock, elimination of casting defects such as refractory inclusions, and enhanced metallurgical properties based on retained electrolytic microstructure. This is achieved through the elimination of several conventional processing steps.
