Abstract (en)

A method of forming a composite conductor characterized by a ferrous core and a copper cladding comprises the steps of preheating the core in a hydrogen atmosphere to a temperature approximately 50 to 100 degrees F below the melting point of copper, drawing the preheated core in an upwardly vertical direction through a dry orifice and through a molten copper bath at a rate that permits wetting of the core and adhesion of a copper layer to the core, and cooling the composite ferrous core and copper cladding so that solidification of the cladding occurs at a point about the surface of the molten copper bath.
