Given their high levels of purity and high conductivity, Brixlegg copper cathodes are employed primarily for the production of continuous cast rod. Further applications are continuous and discontinuous casting plant, especially for the manufacture of copper products in the grades Cu-OFE, Cu-OF1 pursuant to EN, Cu-PHCE, CuAg(OF) and Cu-ETP1. The billets and cakes are used to produce workpieces for high-vacuum technology, superconductor technology and microelectronics.
