Copper Mould Tube

Pioneering Excellence in Copper Mould Tubes – Powered by Innovation, Precision, and Customer Trust in the Steel Industry

BSFC

The copper mould tube is a critical component in any continuous casting process. It not only shapes the molten steel but also ensures optimal initial solidification, providing the strength needed to contain the liquid steel during the casting process and preventing internal or surface defects. At [Your Company Name], we understand that every detail matters. That’s why our moulds are engineered with careful consideration of all operational variables and casting practices that can influence steel quality and productivity. With decades of expertise in the steel industry, we design copper mould tubes that meet the specific needs of each plant. Every design is developed using advanced computer-aided analysis and thermal simulation to study heat transfer and solidification patterns, combined with feedback from on-site operational trials. Our tailor-made approach ensures consistent performance, longer service life, and the highest quality end product – making us a trusted partner for steel producers worldwide.

Manufacturing Excellence at Beijing Sino Forge Company

At Beijing Sino Forge Company, our copper mould tubes and plates are produced in a fully integrated manufacturing facility, ensuring precision, consistency, and complete traceability from raw material to finished product.

Our plant combines copper melting and casting, extrusion, hot and cold rolling, drawing, machining, heat treatment, and advanced electrolytic coating under one roof. This end-to-end control allows us to meet diverse customer requirements with exceptional quality and reliable delivery timelines.

Tubular Mould Production

The manufacturing process for tubular moulds begins with the casting of premium-grade copper round bars. These are hot extruded or forged to refine the structure, followed by cold drawing to achieve precise dimensional tolerances, mechanical strength, and required taper specifications. Tapering is accomplished using custom-engineered steel tooling, developed in-house with advanced CAD/CAM technology.

After achieving the desired geometry, the tubes undergo precision machining, internal chromium plating, and rigorous inspection to guarantee smooth operation and extended service life.

Plate Mould Production

For plate moulds, production starts with the casting of a solid copper slab, which is then hot rolled or forged, and further cold rolled to the exact thickness and strength required. Each plate undergoes full ultrasonic inspection to ensure flawless integrity before machining.

During the machining stage, slots for thermocouples and mounting configurations are created according to customer specifications. The final step involves applying our specialized mould plate coating for superior wear resistance and thermal performance.
