Production process and product advantages of C97600 copper rod:

1. Production process

Raw material processing and smelting

The production of C97600 copper rod usually starts with waste copper, copper chips and other raw materials, which are pre-treated by briquetting process and then mixed with electrolytic copper, zinc blocks and slag removers for smelting. High-efficiency electric furnace technology is used in the smelting process, such as the "large-tonnage electric furnace smelting-submerged liquid transfer" process, which not only improves the metal utilization rate, but also reduces smoke pollution through the bag dust removal system, which meets environmental protection requirements.

2. Continuous casting and extrusion stretching

The domestic mainstream process adopts continuous casting technology, such as "multi-head multi-stream horizontal continuous casting", which can produce multiple specifications of products at the same time, and the efficiency is more than 10 times higher than that of traditional processes. The copper billet after casting undergoes extrusion and stretching processes, which significantly improves the density, surface smoothness and mechanical properties of the material, ensuring that the product meets high-precision standards.

Machining and post-processing

Cast or extruded copper rods need to be cut, hot punched (heated and stamped at about 800℃), annealed, sandblasted and deburred. CNC lathes and drilling machines complete precision processing, and some products also need polishing or outsourced electroplating to enhance surface properties. Scraps and waste can be recycled to improve resource efficiency.

2. Product advantages

Excellent mechanical properties

C97600 has high strength, high hardness and good plasticity, suitable for cold and hot pressure processing, and can meet the needs of complex parts molding. Its tensile strength and impact resistance are excellent in heavy-load environments such as ship components.

Excellent corrosion resistance

It has good corrosion resistance to seawater and salt water environments, especially suitable for marine engineering fields such as ship castings and pump housings. However, attention should be paid to the tendency of dezincification and corrosion cracking, which needs to be alleviated by optimizing the alloy ratio or surface treatment.

Aesthetics and processing adaptability

The high nickel content gives it a silvery-white color, which is suitable for applications with high appearance requirements (such as decorative parts). At the same time, the material supports a variety of processing methods (such as forging, stamping, turning), and is compatible with electroplating processes, expanding the application scenarios.

Advanced production technology guarantees quality

Adopting advanced technologies such as continuous casting, extrusion and stretching, combined with computer control and non-destructive testing, ensures that the intrinsic quality and surface accuracy of the product reach international standards and meet high-end industrial needs.

3. Application fields

Mainly used in ship accessories, protective devices, pump housings, hardware and sanitary ware, electronic products and decorative parts, taking into account functionality and aesthetics.

In summary, C97600 copper rod achieves a balance between performance and cost through efficient and environmentally friendly smelting process, precision processing technology and alloy design, becoming the preferred material for many industries.
