Abstract

At Primetals Technologies Brazil Ltda. Rio de Janeiro Santa Cruz Workshop we electroplate mold coppers for continuous casting by tank plating. Tank plating submerges the copper in the bath of the plating solution. This is the most common method of plating and is applicable for both broadface and narrowface copper plates. Mold copper plates have a decisive impact on the product quality as well as the cost for maintenance and production. A perfect understanding of the operational influences on the plates and performance variables are the first step for the right selection of a copper plating method. Variable Hiper Coat keeps the Copper Plates 50% up to 100% longer in operation because of applying hardness on the Copper Plate where it is needed. Primetals Technologies Brazil provides the solution which meets and exceeds the requirements for todays and future demands.
