Chromium Zirconium Copper Round Tube – Process & Quality Assurance Statement
Our chromium zirconium copper round tubes are specifically developed for applications requiring sustained conductivity and mechanical strength at elevated temperatures, where standard copper would soften or lose performance over time.
Key process features
Production employs advanced metallurgical and extrusion techniques to maintain uniform properties in round hollow sections:
●Alloy Preparation: High-purity copper is alloyed with precise chromium and zirconium additions in controlled induction furnaces under protective atmosphere.
●Casting: Semi-continuous casting produces large billets or hollow billets with homogeneous composition and minimal segregation.
●Hot Extrusion: High-tonnage presses extrude the material into seamless round tubes, refining grain structure and achieving high density.
●Solution Heat Treatment: Tubes are solution annealed at high temperature and rapidly quenched to create a supersaturated matrix.
●Precipitation Aging: Controlled low-temperature aging develops optimal hardness, strength, and conductivity balance.
●Cold Drawing & Finishing: Multiple controlled draw passes refine dimensions, improve surface finish, and enhance straightness; tubes are then cut to length and ends deburred.
●Final Protection: Parts are thoroughly cleaned and lightly oiled to prevent oxidation during storage and global shipping.
Quality control system
● Full traceability from raw alloy melt to finished round tube
● Comprehensive material test certificates and heat treatment reports supplied with every shipment
● Sample retention ≥3 years for third-party verification (SGS, BV, TÜV, etc.)
● 100% inspection of critical parameters:
• Chemical composition (optical emission spectrometry)
• Mechanical properties (tensile, hardness, and conductivity tested at multiple locations)
• Dimensional accuracy (ultrasonic wall thickness + micrometers; typical tolerance ±1% on OD/wall)
• Surface finish and ovality (profilometer + visual checks)
• Internal soundness (full ultrasonic scanning)
● Internal standards exceed ASTM B768 requirements. Typical C18150 aged properties:
Tensile strength ≥450 MPa, Hardness ≥140 HB, Electrical conductivity ≥80% IACS, Excellent stability up to 500°C without significant softening.
● ISO 9001:2015 certified facility ensures every chromium zirconium copper round tube delivers consistent, reliable performance in your most demanding high-temperature and high-conductivity applications.
