Casting of copper wires

Copper has been used since for various purposes. The copper age has witnessed the usage of copper, and it is used till date. Copper has been used for wiring and electrical purposes, as it is one of the best conductors of heat and electricity. Being malleable as well as ductile, copper can easily be transformed into wires. Various industrial applications often find the usage of copper.

A copper wire is used in our daily life for wiring purposes. The process of manufacturing of copper wires is indeed tough. Rods made from cast copper of around eight millimeter diameter, are often used to for the transformation of solid iron into thin wires. The main processes which are used for transforming copper into wires are the annealing process, the bunching, the stranding process, the tinning process, the electroplating process and the glass process.

In the process of tinsel copper wiring, the “gauge copper wire” is wound over the reels and then put on the flattening tool, so that they can be easily flattened. The so called “tinned copper wire” process of bunching is used to put a glass coat over the copper wire. Once the copper is coated with glass, then it is sent for varnishing.

In the “braiding process”, the copper wire is further processed once it undergoes the annealing process. It is gathered and wounded over the reels, and fixed over the braiding machine. The sizes as well as the length are taken into consideration, according to the required criteria and then the wires are wound.

In the annealing process, the copper wire are put into an electrical furnace within a pot, so that ‘annealed soft copper wires” can be obtained. The bunching process further improves a copper wire. They are then passed through the “nuzzling method”, so that the surface of the copper wires can be improved further.
