  The company mainly focuses on the production of wires and rods from electrolytic copper and its alloys. The continuous casting department that I had worked for two weeks composes of three sub-departments which are anode casting, electrolysis, and continuous casting. I had a chance to observe these three departments closely. After two weeks, I wrote a report based on my observations to my superiors. Then, I had been moved to the R&D department. In this department, I had focused on the metallography of copper and its alloys. I had prepared metallographic specimens and created a reference catalog using stereo, and light microscopes for the R&D department of the company.The responsibilities were:- The metallographic specimen preparation by mounting, grinding, polishing, and etching,- To evaluate specimens by light and stereo microscopes,- Helping to determine the right etchant for specific Cu-alloys,- Helping to prepare in-house R&D catalog by taking pictures of microstructures.Had gained knowledge about:- Recycling of Cu by fire refining,- Purification of Cu by electrolysis, and the fundamentals of electrolysis,- The principles of continuous casting, and drawing,- Metallography of Cu and its alloys,- How to properly use light and stereo microscopes.
