The invention relates to production equipment and process of a
copper-clad aluminum
bimetal composite
wire rod, belonging to the technical field of
metal material
processing. The production equipment is composed of a
heating element, a molten aluminum
temperature control crucible, a core
metal pouring stopper rod, a
temperature measurement instrument, a pressure mechanism, an
extrusion stem, a hollow hole forming pin, an extruding
barrel, an extruding mold, a cooling device, a water tank, a tensioning mechanism and a
winding machine. The production process comprises the following steps: a
copper billet is placed in the extruding
barrel and an aluminum
ingot is placed in the
temperature control crucible, heat is preserved after the
heating element outside the extruding
barrel is heated to be at the required temperature, the
extrusion stem moves downwards under the action of the pressure mechanism to punch and extrude the
copper billet in the extruding barrel to form a clad copper
pipe; when the copper
pipe is extruded out of a mold, the core
metal molten aluminum pouring stopper rod is pulled, molten aluminum is sucked in the copper
pipe under the action of the negative pressure in the pipe and solidified, is further cooled by the cooling device and the water tank, then passes through the tensioning mechanism, and finally is reeled and collected on the
winding machine. The equipment is simple, the technological process is short, and both the equipment and the process are suitable for large-scale production; the prepared copper-clad aluminum
wire rod has accurate boundary dimension, core metal has no
casting defect, and the interface of outer layer metal copper and core metal aluminum is clean and free of
pollution, and therefore, a good metallurgical bonding effect is achieved.
