Sažetak

Pure copper is one of the best conducting metals among known materials, making it the first choice for wires and microwires. However, before subjecting to metal working, the material is being manufactured in the continuous casting lines. The experimental study conducted in laboratory conditions proved that the external surface quality, and thus the contact quality with the cooling system is being responsible for the worsening or improving of the heat transfer and therefore the temperature of the crystallizer itself. The conducted study might function as sort of a guideline for the industrial process.
