Continuous cast shapes –
Aurubis SHAPES

Aurubis SHAPES is a cast product characterized by a rich variety of shapes and copper materials. Our shapes are individually tailored to our customers' production processes and end applications. The product portfolio includes both oxygen-containing and oxygen-free copper materials ranging from high-purity to low-alloyed copper materials. Aurubis SHAPES therefore represent the optimal starting product for the fabrication of high-quality strip, foils, plates, pipes, profiles and forgings made of copper materials.

Aurubis SHAPES are ideal for sophisticated applications thanks to their consistently high quality. The range of materials extends from high-purity copper (purity of 99.99 %) to age-hardenable CuCrZr alloys and other high-performance alloys.

Aurubis SHAPES form the basis for a wide variety of products that require high electrical or thermal conductivity in combination with excellent strength and outstanding surface properties. They are thus not only a reliable basis for established applications but also a significant driver of state-of-the-art technologies.

It is particularly important to us to meet customers’ individual requirements and specifications so that we can ensure optimal processing and functionality in the following applications:

Cable strip with the highest standards for welding suitability and surface quality
Molds for foundry technology
Lead frames
Plumbing pipes and industrial tubes for air conditioning technology

Furthermore, Aurubis offers several processed products and special shapes such as anode molds, which are directly produced from our Aurubis SHAPES.

Electromobility

Aurubis SHAPES are used in forward-looking e-mobility
In power electronics, inverters require materials that offer high electrical conductivity along with tight dimensional tolerances
This allows a great deal of energy to be transmitted in large cross-sections

Applications in demanding environments

Aurubis SHAPES can be used to produce high-strength connectors that provide the requisite level of conductivity.
These include copper-iron alloys, which meet stringent requirements for strength and conductivity in connectors that are decreasing in size
Aurubis SHAPES made of CuCrZr alloys combine high strength and good electrical/thermal conductivity
CuCrZr alloys form the basis for sophisticated products such as those found in rocket propulsion technology
