Copper Powder

Copper powder is a very dense and typically spherical metal powder that is used in the elcectronics industry due to its conductive properties.

Copper Powders are produced mainly through Electrolysis(ECP), Atomization(ACP) and Reduction(RCP) Process, further it is milled to Nano Scale(NCP).

Copper powder has many uses in powder metallurgy, including:

  • Manufacturing: Soft magnets, copper-based paints, inks, chemicals, and sintered components
  • Joining: Brazing for joining different parts
  • Coating: Surface coating and friction products
  • Nonstructural: Cold soldering, mechanical plating, medals and medallions, metal-plastic decorative products
  • Lubrication: Cold casting, with casting resin, epoxy, polyester or polyurethane
  • Cutting: Diamond cutting tool

Other uses of copper powder include:

  • Conductive inks and paints
  • Heat conductive paste
  • Electrical conductive inks
  • Chemicals
  • Metal injection molding (MIM)
