The analysis of the structure of cast billets with a diameter 20 mm from copper obtained in a continuous casting system using Upcast technology. The macrostructure of the sample in the transverse and longitudinal sections was studied. Hardness of a copper contact wire obtained by traditional technology and the proposed technology. In this regard, there is a potential possibility of using a technological scheme for manufacturing a contact wire by drawing a cast copper billet obtained by Upast technology.
