Copper Bus bar and Plating

Dear Sir,
I am a Ferrous Foundry Metallurgist with 25 long years spent in the foundry industry. Now I intend to learn about manufacture of Copper Busbars by extrusion technics and electroplating with tin For conductor applications. Kindly advise me appropriate good reading material on these subjects and help me with reading material if available with you. If it is not very expensive I would like pay for the reading material.

What are the heat treatment processes used in the copper bus bar manufacture to get HALF HARD & FULL HARD Copper Bus bars.

Your advise on the above subjects to me is highly regarded.

Sincerely yours,

N.Nageswara Rao.

Hard and half hard tempers of copper are determined by the amount of cold work done; heat treating is not involved.
