Production process of copper water pipes
The following copper pipe quick connectors, copper water pipes and copper water pipe manufacturers will talk about the production of copper water pipes usually including the following main processes:
1. Raw material preparation: Extract copper ore from copper ore, and obtain high-purity copper blocks or rods through processes such as beneficiation, smelting, and refining.
2. Smelting: Put high-purity copper blocks or rods into a smelting furnace and heat them to melt them into liquid copper.
3. Extrusion: Liquid copper is extruded through an extruder. An extruder is usually used to extrude the copper billet into a copper tube with standard wall thickness and outer diameter.
4. Cold drawing: The extruded copper tube is drawn through a cold drawing machine to achieve the size and wall thickness required by the customer, and to improve the inner surface smoothness of the copper tube.
5. Pickling and cleaning: Pickle and clean the cold-drawn copper tubes to remove surface oxides and other impurities.
6. Annealing: By annealing the copper tube, work hardening is eliminated, so that the copper tube obtains a certain plasticity, which facilitates subsequent molding processing.
7. Pipe making processing: The annealed copper pipes are cut, straightened, and straightened to meet different specifications and size requirements.
8. Quality inspection: Conduct various performance and appearance quality inspections on the finished copper pipes to ensure that the products meet specifications and standards.
9. Packaging and storage: Pack and label qualified copper pipes, and then store them for sale or leave the factory.
