Using our extensive experience reconditioning copper mold plates and state-of-the-art machining technology, the Oil City, Pennsylvania, Division of SMS Millcraft produces copper plates for conventional-, medium- and thin-slab and near-net-shape molds. Our new replacement copper plates are the highest quality available and are manufactured to ISO 9001:2000 standards. With multiple raw material sources and complete manufacturing capabilities in our facility, we can produce plates quickly and competitively and serve a global market for new copper mold liners.
Our plates are made from the highest grade copper chrome zirconium and/or silver bearing copper to meet our rigid internal specifications for metallurgical properties and material strength.
Using our four advanced high-speed vertical CNC machining centers, we can efficiently machine copper plates of virtually any size to precise specifications. And our three- and five-axis precision high-speed machining technology allows us to accurately and quickly machine the complex contours and profiles required by many designs while holding extremely tight tolerances.
To help steel producers meet ever increasing demands to produce high quality crack-sensitive grades of steel at higher and higher speeds, we offer comprehensive design services, including sophisticated 2-D and 3-D thermal modeling techniques, and often redesign cooling slot configurations to update existing OEM copper designs.
Our in-house coating department can provide a wide range of coatings from standard nickel, chrome and copper to leading-edge UniGuard™ mold coatings.
More information on new copper mold plates is available on the "Literature downloads" page of this site.
