Wear Plates
Wear Plates reduce mechanical abrasion of molds at cable entry points and help prevent
leakage of molten metal (particularly on larger 7 strand conductor). These features prolong
mold life.
Most CADWELD Molds are available with factory mounted Wear Plates for the following
sizes:
Copper Cable: 1/0 AWG thru 500 Kcmil
DSA Copperweld
®
: 7/#10 thru 19/#6
Ground Rods: 1/2" thru 1"
To order WEAR PLATES, specify: Mold Part No. followed by the suffix "-W" i.e.,
TAC-2Q2Q-W.
Not available with types HA, HB, HC, LJ, certain PTs & PCs, RR, VB, VF, VG, VN, XA,

Split Crucible Molds

SPLIT CRUCIBLE TYPE. The advantage of the SPLIT CRUCIBLE MOLD is easier
cleaning, but lead times are longer.
To order a SPLIT CRUCIBLE TYPE specify: Mold Part No. followed by the suffix "-L" i.e.,
TAC2Q2QL.
Available in Type TA, XA, XB (C & D mold price only), LE and LJ connections.
