Cast & Roll® the new tech
tube, uses a number of innovations to cut cost and enhance
product quality. The system layout is compact and the
process is highly automated, thereby using less energy than
the conventional extrusion process.
The Cast & Roll® process consists of two stages: Melting &
Casting and Tube Rolling. After casting, the outside surface of
the hollow-billet is milled to remove scale and oxidation.
A key feature of the process is the use of planetary rolling
to achieve more than 90% reduction of the billet in a
»8y for the production of copper
single pass. Such high deformation causes the copper
to heat up sufficiently to raise the temperature beyond
the recrystalisation point, and thus avoid the need for a
preheating step.
Hot working of the material during rolling results in a fine,
homogenous grain structure in the copper. This provides
excellent drawability and a smooth surface on the finished
tube, Moreover, cross-rotational rolling, without the use of
any lubricants, ensures good concentricity. To protect the
tube from oxidation, the copper is hot worked in an inert gas
atmosphere, The tube from the process has a bright surface
‘on bath inside and outside.
Cast & Roll® process yields copper tubes with exceptional
quality, including high quality thin-walled ACR tube,
