Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of special-shaped copper rod, in particular to a special-shaped copper rod efficient continuous casting and rolling production process. BACKGROUND

[0002] Copper rod, generally produced by electrolytic copper, has a lower resistivity than low-oxygen copper rod, so it is more economical in the production of products with relatively stringent resistance requirements; the manufacture of oxygen-free copper rod requires high-quality raw materials; the superiority of oxygen-free copper rod is that it can be used to produce copper wire with a diameter of <0.5mm, and 6MM oxygen-free copper rod is used to produce copper flat wire. Due to different production processes of copper rod, the oxygen content and appearance of the produced copper rod are different. The oxygen content of the copper rod produced by upward drawing is below 20ppm, which is called oxygen-free copper rod.

[0003] Continuous casting and rolling, also known as continuous casting and rolling, is a metal rolling process in which liquid metal is poured into a continuous casting machine to cast metal billets (referred to as continuous casting billets), and then directly enters a hot continuous rolling mill for rolling after being kept in a soaking furnace for a certain time. This process ingeniously combines casting and rolling two processes, compared to the traditional process of first casting steel billets and then heating and rolling, it has the advantages of simplifying the process, improving the labor conditions, increasing the metal yield, saving energy, improving the quality of continuous casting billets, and facilitating mechanization and automation.

[0004] However, in the existing production process of special-shaped copper rod, impurities in the copper liquid cannot be fully removed, and the oxygen content is not easy to control, resulting in that the decarburized layer on the surface of the copper billet cannot be controlled, there is a large oxidation loss, and the temperature is too high, which causes the copper billet to be easily deformed. During high-temperature rolling of the copper billet, the deformation temperature becomes lower and lower, and the cumulative deformation amount becomes larger and larger, so with the increase of rolling passes, the grain in the center of the wire cross section is gradually refined, the segregation problem is serious, and the internal quality of the product is poor.
