Copper Wire Rod
| Product | Wire rod of 8 mm diameter Cu-ETP-8-CL |
| Application | Product for drawing on single- and multi-wire drawing machines. Single wires and wire strips drawn from wire rod are used as conductors in leads and electrical cables (e.g. enameled cables, car cables, connection cables, etc.). Wire rod produced in KGHM can be drawn in wide range of diameters on single-wire drawing machines (min. diameter less than 0.1 mm) and on multi-wire drawing machines (min. diameter 0.1mm). |
| Standard | PN-EN 1977, ASTM-B 49, DIN-1708 |
| Dimensions and tolerances | 8 ± 0,4 mm |
| Purity of material | Impurities at a level of max. 30 ppm O2 = 150-190 ppm (max. 400 ppm). |
| Material used in production | Wire rod is produced mainly from cathodes produced in KGHM Branches in types: Cu-CATH-1; brand: HML, HMG-B, HMG-S |
| Standard physical properties | Electric conductivity at 20ºC: min. 58,8 MS/m (101,4% IACS) Spiral elongation (EN 12893): 450 ± 10 mm or alternative test – Test AR: min. 20% Elongation (200 mm): 44% ± 2% Tensile strength (200 mm): 225 MPa ± 5 MPa Annealing capability A200 min. 20% |
| Structural properties | Wire rod has fine-grained structure, where oxygen is uniformly arranged. The oxygen content is low enough to ensure good ductility and low recrystallization temperature. |
| Packaging | Wire rod is delivered in jumbo coils of approximately 4.7 mt weight, in one piece, on wooden pallets, fastened with PET straps. Each coil is covered with stretch type plastic foil for protection against adverse conditions. Pallet dimensions: 1750 x 1750 x 150 mm Coil inside diameter: 1130 mm Coil outside diameter: 1800 mm |
| Producer | KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. „Cedynia” Copper Smelting Plant Division in Orsk produces copper wire rod by means of continuous melting, casting and rolling. Production plan comprises the following diameters: 8mm ± 0,4 mm and 10mm ± 0,4 mm. „Cedynia” Copper Smelting Plant Division has quality certificate compliant with PN-EN ISO 9001:2009, PN-EN ISO 14001:2005, PN-EN 18001:2004, issued by the Polish Centre for Testing and Certification, which pertains to, among others, manufacture of copper wire rod. |
