Kopermaterialen voor continugieten Moulds
We manufacture copper gietvorm buizen using TP2 / Cu-DHP, CuAg0.1 and CuCrZr copper materials, selected according to the required casting conditions and gietvorm design. Features, typical composition, comparison and a selection guide are below.
Kopermaterialen for Koperen gietvormbuizen
The copper gietvorm must combine high thermal conductivity with suitable mechanical strength and resistance to thermal stress. The right grade depends on gietmachine design, knuppel section, casting speed, thermal load, koeling conditions and required service performance.
TP2 / Cu-DHP
Phosphorus deoxidized copperTP2, commonly referred to as Cu-DHP, is the phosphorus-deoxidized copper grade most widely used for continugieten gietvorm buizen. Good thermal conductivity, suitable mechanical properties and good manufacturing performance for conventional casting.
- Good thermal conductivity
- Good machinability and forming properties
- Suitable high-temperature fatigue resistance
- Widely used for CCM gietvorm buizen
- Suitable for conventional casting conditions
- Cost-effective material option

| Cu | Balance |
| P | 0.015–0.040 % |
CuAg0.1
Silver-bearing copperA silver-bearing copper alloy with approximately 0.08–0.12 % Ag. Silver raises the recrystallization temperature compared with standard phosphorus-deoxidized copper and improves thermal stability at elevated operating temperatures.
- High thermal conductivity
- Improved high-temperature stability
- Higher recrystallization temperature than Cu-DHP
- Good resistance to thermal stress
- Suitable for demanding gietvorm applications

| Cu | Balance |
| Ag | 0.08–0.12 % |
| P | 0.004–0.012 % |
CuCrZr
Chromium zirconium copperA precipitation-strengthened copper alloy containing chromium and zirconium. Substantially higher mechanical strength at elevated temperatures than Cu-DHP while retaining good thermal conductivity, for the most demanding gietvorm applications.
- High mechanical strength
- High-temperature strength
- Good thermal conductivity
- High resistance to thermal fatigue
- High recrystallization temperature
- Suitable for demanding casting conditions

| Cu | Balance |
| Cr | 0.30–1.20 % |
| Zr | 0.03–0.30 % |

How to Select Copper Materiaal for a Mould Tube
Consider the actual casting conditions rather than simply choosing the highest-strength alloy. The final material is selected according to the gietmachine design and operating conditions.
TP2 / Cu-DHP
A practical choice for standard continugieten van knuppels where good thermal conductivity, manufacturability and cost control are important.
CuAg0.1
When the gietvorm experiences higher thermal loading or needs improved thermal stability compared with conventional Cu-DHP.
CuCrZr
For more demanding thermal and mechanical conditions, particularly where elevated-temperature strength and resistance to deformation are important.
Kopermaterialen for Different Mould Producten
Used for copper gietvorm buizen, copper gietvorm plates, copper gietvorm assemblies, knuppel gietvormen, square and rectangular gietvorm buizen and op maat continugieten gietvormen. For copper gietvorm buizen the available grades are TP2 / Cu-DHP, CuAg0.1 and CuCrZr.

Customized Koperen gietvormbuis Materiaalen
If you are replacing an existing copper gietvorm buis, provide the original material specification whenever available. We review the existing copper grade, gietvorm buis dimensions, gietmachine radius, buis lengte, wanddikte, internal conus, surface coating and casting conditions, and confirm the copper grade before production.
