Method and apparatus for producing oxygen-free copper or oxygen-free copper alloy

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for producing oxygen-free copper or an oxygen-free copper alloy. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for producing oxygen-free copper or oxygen-free copper alloys which is capable of suppressing the generation of holes, cracks, and the like in ingots through a sufficient and uniform deoxidation reaction, and which is able to produce good quality oxygen-free copper or oxygen-free copper alloy with a good surface quality when rolled, and which is capable of producing oxygen-free copper or oxygen-free copper alloy at a low cost through reduction of fuel costs, and which is capable of reducing damage to furnace interior materials and fire hazards.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
