Description
Description:
The cathode is the basic product of copper production. It is the
primary raw material input for the production of copper rod for the
wire and cable industry. It is produced in a marketable form at
Aurubis for use in high-quality applications. A cathode a 50 to 80
kg copper square is produced when pure copper separates from
unwrought copper in an electrolytic refining process. Individual
cathode sheets are manufactured to different dimensions in the
range of 0,5 m2 to 1 m2 and 3 to 20 mm thick, with or
without ears. Copper is also used in the production of brass,
copper tube, copper sheet products, and found in over 450 alloys.
Copper cathodes are used as a raw material feed for the production
of high purity copper and copper alloy products. It is therefore
essential that, during shipping and transportation, they are not
contaminated with any extraneous materials.
