Copper Powders

Copper Powder is finely granulated copper that has many metallurgic functions. Copper Powder comes in different particle densities, is extremely porous and can be soaked with oils and other metals like cast copper. It is used as an alloy in metal-plastic combinations and several other structural applications. Next to iron and steel, it is widely used in many of the sintered products, right from parts of guns to self-lubricating beating and filter gas diffusers.

How Is Copper Powder Produced?

There are two main industrial processes used to turn copper into Copper Powder. These processes are:

• Atomization method

• Centrifugal disintegration

In Atomization, molten copper is pushed through a thin tube. Gas pushes against the stream of the metal to produce turbulence, causing the molten copper to become powder. On the other hand, in centrifugal disintegration, copper rods are placed in a rotating spindle, where an arc heats the rods. Because of the constant rotation of spindle, small bits of copper fly out producing Copper Powder.

Uses Of Copper Powder

Copper Powder is used in several industries for many years. It is used in the electrical and electronic industry due to its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. When alloyed with tin, zinc, nickel and other elements, it is used in manufacturing of structural parts. Also, copper is used as an alloying element in iron powder component to enhance the mechanical properties and control dimensional changes during sintering.

In addition, Copper Powder is used for welding. Here, the powder is mixed with a neutral suspending agent and some flux material in order to form a brazing paste. This paste is applied to the joints with a brush. The joint is then heated to melting point to complete the brazing process.
