COPPER MOULD TUBE / PLATE

Copper mold tube / plate is the most critical and high wearing part of the mould. In contact with liquid metal the copper mould forms an ingot by cooling a thin shell of metal and forming a solid crust. By extracting of the still-solidifying ingot and continuous feeding of molten metal to the mould a continuous strand is formed, that format is determined by the mould shape.

Orient New Material is ready to supply copper mold tubes for graded and slab casting machines (CC machines) according to drawings developed on the basis of the customer’s technical assignment.Orient New Material can also supply special copper mould tubes / plates of special length and geometry based on individual drawings made in accordance with provided customer’s specifications.

According to physical and chemical characteristics of casted metal the mould tubes for casting machines can differ in materials that are used in their construction:

   Refined copper (99,90 % and more pure),

   CuAg alloy,

   CuCrZr alloy,

   Beryllium bronze

In order to increase the erosion resistance and service life the casting machine mould tubes are special coated.Orient New Material mainly provides two types of internal surface coating:

Ni-Co-Cr coating.

Ni-Co-Fecoating, which is a new environmental protection technology. This kind of plating don' t including the Cr,Cd,lead and Hg. This kind of plating have the advantages as below:
Energy saving and environmental protection: Low energy consumption, no electroplating sludge, no toxic substances, zero waste water discharge
Corrosion Resistance: 2.6 times to Cr coating
 Abrasion Performance: 2 times to Cr coating
Hardness: The plating hardness can up to: 900-1100Hv
