Copper Wire Manufacturing
Copper Wire Manufacturing is the most essential metal manufacturing industry of the world. No wonder that in many countries of the world, copper export is the backbone of the economy. The reason for such a prominence of copper over other metals is the dependence of electric and electronic works on it. All the electric wires all over the world are made from copper wires. Among a variety of copper wires, the tinsel copper wire is used for making electric wires commonly found in telephone receivers. It has maximum mechanical flexibility which is needed. It is very resistant to breaking due to metal fatigue.
The manufacturing process of Tinsel copper wire involves wrapping of very thin foils of copper wires around a textile core. The manufacturing of copper wires involves some stages but there are different processing steps for different uses of the wires. Bare copper wire is used to make cables but since it is complex in shape, it needs a lot of processing. The bare copper strip is used in lighting work for transportation systems like subways, electricity run trains, buses, etc. The manufacturing of copper wires has many stages according to the purpose of manufacture. The copper manufacturers have to convert the raw copper extracted from copper ores and process it in a stage-by-stage manner for producing the final product.
Tin coated copper wire is taken through certain processes too for producing copper wire cables. It has to go through three processes. Firstly the wires are drawn in specific sizes with the use of Electrolyte Copper or C.C. Rod. The second process is annealing of the extracted copper wires. After getting the electrolyzed annealed copper wire, the third process of plating of the wires is undertaken.
For the production of stranded copper wire, there are a lot many processes involved than using the bare copper wire. In the case of production of low voltage copper wires, using stranded copper wires is going to bring up the prices a lot. It is pointless to purchase a costly wire if it is not going to solve a very specific problem. For example, in the case of making cables for alarm bells, it may not be needed to opt for stranded copper wire as cable made with solid bare copper conductors may be good enough to work with. Sure those wires are not as flexible as those manufactured with stranded copper conductors.
