I believe the continous casting process is quite common. It results in rods which are then drawn and annealed to the correct diameter. But it's claimed that this process still creates monocrystaline copper: http://www.copper.org/innovations/1997/Dec1997/wiremetallurgy.html >From what it looks at the other link from Furutech it is the same process. I.e "cast rod" doesn't sound like the final drawn thin wire. Also note that the best conductivity is clamed with a certain amount of oxygen (approx 200 ppm), and that too little oxygen should be avoided for that and other reasons! -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it.
