Product
Wire rod with a diameter of 8 mm Cu-ETP-8-CL
Application
Product for broaching on single- and multi-wire machines.
Single wires and strands drawn from wire rod are used to build conductors in cables and electric wires (e.g. enameled wires, car cables, connection cords, etc.).
Wire rod can be drawn in a wide range of diameters on single-wire machines (min. diameter below 0.1 mm) and multi-wire machines (minimum diameter 0.1 mm).

Product
Cu-OFE-8-CL wire, Cu-OFE-12.7, Cu-OFE-16, Cu-OFE-20, Cu-OFE-22, Cu-OFE-24, Cu-OFE-25
Application
for drawing: Cu-OFE wire with oxygen content <3ppm is resistant to hydrogen embrittlement (hydrogenation). A trace amount of oxygen ensures very good ductility and low recrystallization temperature. Very good ductility of the wire allows for very deep drawing to diameters below 0.1 mm (microwires). Drawn Cu-OFE wires are used to construct copper conductors, which can be additionally coated with Ag, Sn or Ni. These types of conductors are used in enameled wires, cables and specialized wires, e.g. in safety cables with increased fire resistance (for IT systems, nuclear power plants), or in category 6 and 7 cables transmitting sound and image.
for extrusion: Cu-OFE wire is an ideal material for continuous extrusion into flat and shaped profiles in the Conform® process.
for rolling: Cu-OFE wire can also be rolled into flat profiles and sections.

Benefits for the customer
The main benefit is the purchase and use of a product with guaranteed, stable, very high quality. The production process is carried out with high technological discipline and using qualitative selection of the input, i.e. cathodes produced at European refineries, Poland and the Netherlands. The technological specificity of the process allows to avoid inclusions and maintain high product uniformity. In relation to wire rod made from the “Contirod®” technology, the customer purchases a product with a narrower diameter tolerance and surface without scales.

Application
for drawing: due to its low oxygen content (< 0.5 ppm), the wire is suitable for deep drawing with a low recrystallization temperature. Drawn wires can be used to build conductors in cables and wires. Identical to the scope of use of oxygen-free copper wires.
for extrusion: low-alloy copper wire with silver is a material suitable for continuous extrusion into flat and shaped profiles in the Conform® process
other: in commutators of mini engines (washing machines, dryers) and in trolleys due to increased heat resistance and increased abrasion resistance .
