Abstract

A highly efficient technology of processing of copper scrap is considered: it implies a combination of melting, refining, casting, and rolling to produce high-quality copper products. The characteristics and parameters of the main element of this technology (casting-rolling unit) and its most important functional element (mold), which substantially affects the unit capacity and the quality of the forming billet, are described.
