Copper multi-process cast industrial bright pearl

In the vast starry sky of material science and industrial manufacturing, copper, this shining metal with unique light, steadily occupies an indispensable and important position with its inherent excellent characteristics, such as electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance and good processing performance. A gathering of industry elites copper processing industry summit, held in the bustling city, as lit a lamp, illuminate the field of copper processing innovation and development of the road. Many professionals, technical experts and representatives of upstream and downstream enterprises gathered here

 

to witness the gorgeous transformation of copper processing technology and deeply discuss the future trend of the industry.

Casting: Open the fantastic journey of copper molding

Casting, as the beginning of copper processing, is the source of all wonderful. In the large casting area, the sand casting equipment is like a loyal craftsman, operating in an orderly manner. Experienced masters skillfully mix carefully prepared copper liquid, slowly injected into the carefully made sand mold. After a period of cooling and solidification, a different shape of the casting will be born. These castings are like the guardian of the industrial pipeline system, and are widely used in the field of mechanical manufacturing, such as large copper valves, pipe fittings, etc., to ensure the stable operation of the industrial pipeline system, and silently contribute to the smooth operation of the entire industrial world.

And in the precision casting area, investment casting technology is

exuding a unique charm. Like an artist with a delicate mind, it first carefully sculpts a fine wax mold, and then carefully wraps multiple layers of refractory materials. After high temperature roasting, the cavity left after the wax mold is removed, just like a dream stage tailored for copper liquid. When the copper liquid is injected into it, after cooling and forming, the resulting castings have high dimensional precision and

 

perfect surface quality. In the aerospace field, these precision castings play an important role. For example, key components such as the nozzle of the engine fuel system are made of investment cast copper, which ensures the efficient operation of aviation engines and helps mankind to constantly explore the vast universe.

Forging: Giving copper a tough soul

Forging is the magic that endows copper with excellent properties. The powerful forging press is like a strongman, applying great pressure to the copper billet, causing it to undergo plastic deformation in the mold. Each forging, the internal organization of the copper is more compact, the grains are smaller, just like injecting a tough soul into the copper.

In the field of electrical equipment manufacturing, forged copper alloy contacts are like reliable current guardians. It not only has excellent electrical conductivity and arc resistance, can calmly cope with the frequent impact of the opening and closing current, and the mechanical strength is greatly improved, providing a solid guarantee for the safe and stable operation of electrical equipment. In the automobile industry, copper alloy forged synchronizer tooth ring and other parts, with good wear resistance and mechanical properties, become the effective assistant of the efficient operation of the automobile transmission system, so that the car is smoother in the process of driving.

 

Machining: The exquisite beauty of finely carved copper materials

Mechanical processing through turning, milling, drilling and other ways, the precise carving of copper. The high-precision CNC machining equipment is like a highly skilled master of miniaturization, and the copper is processed in fine detail according to the preset program. In the field of electronic equipment manufacturing, the size accuracy of machined copper parts is extremely high, which perfectly fits the development trend of miniaturization and precision of electronic equipment. For example, the copper circuit board connector in smart phones, after fine machining, not only has good contact performance, to ensure the stable transmission of signals, but also has a very high fit with electronic components, which has made great contributions to the high-performance performance of electronic products.

Surface treatment: add unique charm to copper

Copper surface treatment process is rich and varied, nickel plating is one of the widely used. Nickel plating is like putting on a layer of strong and shiny armor for copper. After nickel plating, a hard and dense nickel layer is formed on the surface of copper. This layer of nickel layer not only greatly improves the corrosion resistance of copper, but also enhances its wear resistance and conductivity. In the field of electronic

 

components, nickel-plated copper pins can effectively resist oxidation and ensure the reliable transmission of electronic signals.

Chemical polishing process is also attracting attention, it is like a magical beautician, can make the copper surface become uniform, smooth, glow a unique metallic luster and texture. In the decoration industry, chemically polished copper decorations, such as copper sculptures, copper ornaments, etc., have become a symbol of art and beauty, satisfying people's pursuit of beauty and art.

Craft synergy: to promote the take-off of copper industry

This copper processing industry summit, let us deeply understand that casting, forging, machining, surface treatment and other technologies are not isolated, but mutually cooperate and closely cooperate with the organic whole. Casting shapes the initial form of copper, forging endows it with powerful properties, machining realizes accurate molding, and surface treatment endows it with protection and beauty. Together, they have promoted the wide application of copper in various fields, from the extensive use of copper as a key component of transmission wires and electrical equipment in the power industry, to the important support of key systems in the aerospace field, to the innovative application of electronics, automotive and other industries,

 

the continuous progress of copper processing technology has greatly improved the performance and quality of copper.

These processes not only show the exquisite skills of copper processing, but also highlight the important position of copper in modern industry and broad prospects for development. Let us continue to explore and innovate in this innovation journey of copper processing, and jointly look forward to the copper processing industry to create more brilliance in the future, contribute more copper wisdom and strength to the global industrial development, and let copper, the industrial pearl, shine more brightly.
