Rautomead Booth: 432 Continuous casting technology specia- list Rautomead’s graphite furnace technology is suited to production of high-purity oxygen-free copper wire rods and copper conductor alloy wire rods (eg copper silver, copper magnesium, copper tin), 1,000 to 10,000 tpa. 8mm diameter wire rod, which bene ts manufacturers of enamelled wire, LAN cables and ne wires. The upward casting equipment may be used to manufacture rods of all diameters between 8mm and 30mm, and is suitable feedstock for wire drawing, as well as continuous rotary extrusion processes. End-use applications include super ne wire, automotive wires, contact wire and trolley wires for high-speed trains, data communication cables, CTC and transformer strips and enamelled wires. The graphite furnace technology produces high-quality CuOF Rautomead chairman Sir Michael Nairn will be presenting a paper at the Global Continuous Casting Forum, which runs alongside the Interwire exhibition. The paper will highlight Rautomead’s recent R&D activities with respect to the casting capability for new high-performance alloys. This R&D work led to the development of a new sealed-lid design of casting machine used to process copper chrome zirconium and other similar reactive alloys. RSL (sealed lid) casting machines have been supplied to customers in Europe and China and are being introduced to the US market for the rst time at Interwire.
