Research on the manufacturing technology and processing of continuously cast aluminum rods New advances in technology have led to a practical concept to produce aluminum rods in a continuous process that is presented here with test results

摘要

Producers of cables and wires are challenged to develop new products made of aluminum and aluminum alloys as economical replacements for some products that used copper and copper alloys. These changes do not naturally lead to the elimination of copper from the market of electronics, electrotechnology and electrical power engineering, as they are seeking materials that have similar or better properties than copper. This approach is justified by reducing production costs as materials and processing costs are a major factor in product price, especially for products that have little insulation content, such as overhead wires, coil wires (enamelled wires) and rods for use in the motor industry.
