Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2692344A1] The invention describes a continuous method for producing wires from copp er or from a copper alloy, wherein the copper or copper alloy is in the form of a cast billet (1) and is drawn at a temperature above 500°C into one or more finished wires with the aid of an extruder (2), in which a female die ( 4) and corresponding drawing dies are located, characterized by the followin g steps, a) protecting the hot wires (5) emerging from the female die (4) in a stretching zone (I) from oxidation by means of a shielding gas, b) coolin g the wires in a cooling zone (II) in a temperature-controlled water bath (6 ) at a temperature greater than 60°C, c) measuring the cross-sectional dimen sions of the wires after they leave the water bath and exerting a controlled tensile force on the wires, so that the deviations of the cross-sectional d imensions of the wires from a desired cross section are minimized by stretch ing the wires in the stretching zone (I), and d) placing the wires into a di vided drawing die (14) without prior swaging, closing the drawing die and dr awing the wires to the finished dimensions continuously until the cast bille t is used up.
