Research on the Shrinkage Cavity and Broken Graphite Mold Core of Copper Alloy in Horizontal Continuous Casting

摘要

Copper tube produced by FA6502 copper alloy in a company of Wuhan appears shrinkage cavity in horizontal continuous casting, the graphite mold core which exerts stretching effects is easy to be snapped in production process. The reason why shrinkage cavity appears is found through large number of experiments and analysis. Then we adjust the component of FA6502 copper alloy, the quality of new copper alloy FA6506 is improved significantly. Furthermore, we find the reason why the graphite mold core is snapped in production process, FA6502 copper alloy's shrinkage rate is too large in solidification. The compact power of the graphite mold core is too large to bear, too much resistance in pulling process is exerted so that the graphite mold core is snapped.
