What We Do :: Scalping

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

Overview

Source material is round wire from outside suppliers of high copper alloys, as well as both the Extrusion and Wire mills. Some conditioning of the base stock may be done by drawing and scalping it to improve the size and surface quality.

Process

Scalping involves removing by means of rotating cutters or cutter heads the surface layer from bars or rods to elminate minor surface casting defects and oxide.
