Material Grades and Specifications

Copper Material Properties

Manufacturing Processes

Casting Process

Our gravity die casting process utilizes high-grade permanent steel molds to produce consistent terminal shapes with excellent surface finish. The molten Copper is poured at precisely controlled temperatures of 1150-1200°C to ensure complete mold filling and minimize porosity. Post-casting heat treatment at 350-400°C relieves internal stresses and optimizes mechanical properties. Sand casting is employed for larger terminals or prototypes, utilizing high-quality silica sand with appropriate binders for dimensional accuracy.

Precision Machining Operations

CNC turning operations create precise internal threading and external dimensions with tolerances of ±0.05mm. Milling operations produce flat surfaces and keyways for proper cable connection alignment. Thread rolling processes create superior thread profiles with enhanced fatigue resistance compared to cut threads. Surface finishing operations including polishing and deburring ensure smooth contact surfaces and eliminate sharp edges that could damage battery cables.
