| Summary: | Comparing the mechanical properties of copper castings that had been in service for over 10 years as cooling plates in a blast furnace showed that operational service conditions appear to have no effect on the mechanical properties of the cast copper. Any differences measured between newly cast and ex-service cast coppers can be attributed to differences in grain size in the castings. |
