When the technologicalparameters were set as the ranges of mould temperature 1100-1300℃, cooling distance (the distancefrom the exit of the cast mould to the start point of cooling) 10-20 mm, casting speed 0.2-2.5 mm/s,cooling water (20-25℃) volume 1000-1320 L/h, and when these parameters matched reasonably, the CUSprocess was performed stably, and pure copper rods containing continuous columnar crystals withbright and smooth surface were produced. The dendritic arm spacing of the crystals in copper rodsdecreased with increasing the casting speed. The results of the texture by X-ray diffractionanalysis showed that the rods has strong <100> fiber texture.展开更多
