What We Do :: Melting & Billet Casting

Manufacturers worldwide have come to rely on the quality, cost and specialty solutions provided by Ansonia Copper & Brass.

Melting & Billet Casting

The Casting Department is supplied with the charges, which are melted in electric induction furnaces and cast according to very specific casting practices into Direct Chill (DC) or Static Cast billets, depending on which of the 6 casting stations is used.

Alloying

Each cast cycle of about 2 hours, results in an alloy heat of two billets having a unique heat number and chemical composition. This is one product that the Casting Shop provides to its customers, the Extrusion and Tube Depts.

Continuous Casting

Another product from Casting is Continuous Cast rod and coil, which are produced for the Rod Dept. (Rod & Wire). Charges are melted and transferred to the Rautomead caster, from which continuous lengths of rod or coil are cast. New melted metal is added about each half hour as solid alloy is continuously removed from the coilers or conveyor. This cycle can go on for a week or more.
