Abstract
Copper-based materials for electrical purposes usually find their origin in continuous casting lines where the effectiveness of the process and the quality of the final product depends among others on the crystallization system. The paper investigates the influence of the surface quality of the crystallizer and the geometry of the cooling system on the temperature distribution throughout the copper-magnesium alloys casting process. The obtained results prove that as the contact between the crystallizer and the cooling system is worsening the temperature of the crystallizer and the cast rod increase significantly, therefore affecting the efficiency of the process.
