Continuous Casting

Continuous casting is a casting method used in high volume production of metals with a constant cross-section. This method involves the use of an open-ended graphite die encased in a copper jacket, into which molten metal is poured. The graphite mold is typically cooled with water, allowing the molten metal to solidify within the die. The custom-formed solid metal is then extracted from the mold and passed through rollers and water sprays. This process dissipates heat from the metal, facilitating its gradual solidification.

Here are over 30 types of products manufactured using graphite molds in continuous casting:

1. Copper Rods and Bars: Utilized in the electrical industry for the fabrication of wires and cables.

2. Aluminum Bronze Bars: Employed in the manufacture of parts requiring high strength, good corrosion resistance, and wear resistance.

3. Tin Bronze Bars: Used in the creation of bearings, gears, and similar components.

4. Brass Bars: Applied in the production of valves, fittings, and various machine parts.

5. Nickel Silver Bars: Used in the crafting of musical instruments, decorative items, and coins.

6. Cupro-Nickel Bars: Preferred in marine applications due to their resistance to seawater corrosion.

7. Gold Bars: Employed in the jewelry industry and for investment purposes.

8. Silver Bars: Also used in the jewelry industry and for investment purposes.
