The molten copper flows from the hearth into a bath 80 feeding the conduit 26 and surrounded by another heating element 71. A neutral or reducing atmosphere, such as a mixture of nitrogen and carbon monoxide, is supplied to the furnace through conduit 81. The enlarged rod 16 leaving the crucible passes through sizing rolls 17 and a cooling duct or conveyer 18 to a temporary storage reel 19 from which it is subsequently withdrawn and passed through a drawing or rolling device 20 which reduces at least part of it to its original area and delivers it to a storage reel 21. Any remainder 23 passes to a supply reel 22 as the final product. If the enlarged rod 16 is to be drawn or rolled cold the duct 18 is supplied with a coolant coil and water may also be sprayed on the rod. If the rod is to be worked hot, the coolant function of duct 18 is omitted. To prevent oxidation of the rod 16 leaving the crucible, the latter with the sizing roll and duct 18 may be enclosed and provided with a neutral or reducing atmosphere such as nitrogen. If the body 1 is a flat strip or sheet it may be cut into lengths which are subsequently rejoined; the edges of the strip or sheet may also be trimmed. An example is given of the size of copper rod and its speed of movement through the cycle.
