Copper is basically a metal that has a wide range if applications. If we talk about copper powder, then it simply means that it is the powder form of the copper metal. It generally has a reddish color and has wide applications as well. For instance, this powder has wide range of applications in some metallurgical processes, chemical reactions, as a catalyst, making metallic castings, electronics field and brazing etc. All of these industries make use of copper powder in one way or the other. Some main characteristics of copper powder include its electrical and thermal conductivity. Due to the amazing propoerties inhibited by copper powder, it surely has many applications.

Yes! There are different methods by which the copper metal is turned into copper powder. This production of copper powder by different methods generally promotes in the formation of powder that has some specific and distinct characteristics when compared to each other. Some important methods that we use for manufacturing copper powder include the process of atomization, electrolysis, solid-state reduction and hydrometallurgy. We can indeed say that with each method a copper powder is formed that has some unique properties and characteristics that do differ when compared to the powder from some other production method.

The atomization process basically involves a liquid metal that is flowing through an aperture. This flowing metal is then struck by a stream of gas or water. This strike results in the formation of powder of respective metal. If we take into consideration the production of atomized copper powder by the atomization technique, then firstly copper is melted and turned into molten form. Then it is struck by liquid or air at high speed and this generally results in the production of this. This atomized copper powder can either be spherical or irregular shaped. It depends on various factors that are changeable during its production process.

The general pureness of atomized copper powder is basically dependent on the raw material that is used to produce the powder. If I talk about Kunshan Yosoar, then in our company we make sure that the raw material is pure and ultimately the resulting atomized powder of copper would also be 99.9% pure. We try our best in manufacturing high-quality that is free from impurities and we also have a specific team that is full of technical professionls who are responsible for verifying the batch of copper powder.

At Kunshan Yosoar, we manufacture copper powder by different methods. We do manufacture copper powder using the atomization technique. The overall result by following this technique is the formation of copper powder that can either be spherical or irregular shaped. Generally the spherical copper powder is produced by the air atomization process. This process involves the use of air to atomize the molten copper, whereas the irregular shaped copper powder is produced by the process of water atomization. As the name indicates, this method involves the use of water for atomization purpose of copper metal.

The size of copper powder is also dependent on various characteristics such as the addition of deoxidizing elements. Therefore, we do provide pure copper powder having different shapes as well as sizes.

Here at Kunshan Yosoar, we also manufacture copper powder using the electrolysis technique. This process is approximately similar to that of electroplating. The only difference is that during the electrolysis production of copper, the concentration of copper ion in the electrolyte solution is kept low. These conditions are somehow changed as to gain a uniform and pure copper deposit. The copper powder obtained due to electrolysis is 99.9% pure. If we consider the shape of this powder, then it has a dendritic shape. Apart from this, this specific powder also differs in terms of density when compared to copper powder manufactured by other processes.

Properties of copper powder depend upon certain aspects such as the concentration of the acid that is present in the electrolytic solution. It also depends upon certain agents present in the electrolyte. The temperature and the frequency of the current also effect the properties of the copper powder that would be produced as a result.

We also manufacture copper powder using the hydrometallurgy process. This specific process basically produces copper from scrap copper. In this specific method, the leaching of copper takes place by using some strong acids, and later the copper is precipitated and later on separation of powder takes placr from the solution or the liquid. Apart from this, the characteristics and properties of the powder can also be varied by changing the temperature and reduction time of the process. This is the usual method involved and used for the production of copper powder using the hydrometallurgy process.

Yes! The powder of copper can also be manufactured using the solid-state method. In this specific method, firstly the oxides of metal are grounded into very small size and then a reduction is done using the gas. This reduction is basically done at certain temperatures that are generally lower than melting point of copper metal. One important characteristic and property of copper powder that is manufactured using this specific method is that the powder will be highly porous and will also have a high density when compared to the copper powder of other methods. So this was the overall method of copper powder production using the solid state reduction method.

As already discussed, there are different methods that are used to manufacture copper powder. The production of copper powder takes place in different ways and these ways also alter the resulting properties of the powder as well. For instance, the particle shape generally depends on the production method. Using different methods and processes, we can make copper powder having spherical or irregular shape. Copper powder with a dendritic shape is also produced. Therefore, we can say that the production methods do alter the characteristics of copper powder. These characteristics include the density and shape of the powder. Apart from these, the porosity, as well as the surface area of the powder, is also affected by the use of different methods.

At Kunshan Yosoar, we manufacture copper powder using the atomization technique. This atomization process can be carried out in two ways. It can either be done using water or it can be done using air. The water atomization process results in the formation of copper powder having irregular shape whereas the air atomization of copper results in the formation of copper powder with spherical shape and smooth surface area as well. The copper powder that our industry manufactures is about 99.9% pure and is suitable for almost every required use.

As the name indicates, spherical copper powder differs from irregular copper powder in terms of their respective appearance. Spherical copper powder has regular spherical shape and smooth surface area whereas the irregular shaped copper powder has no specific shape. This powder has irregular shape and the overall surface area is also not smooth. Also, they do differ in terms of their production methods because spherical copper powder is produced by air atomization process whereas the irregular cooper powder is produced by water atomization process.

It have varying shapes and sizes. They can either have spherical shape or irregular shape. Their sizes also vary. They can have 45 microns of size or even 1 millimeter as well. The powder of copper that is manufactured using the atomization process has a boiling point of around 2567 °C. If we consider the melting point of this atomized copper powder, then it is around 1083 °C. The density ranges are indeed quite variable but this atomized copper powder has an average density of about 5.0 g/cc. So, these are some of the physical and chemical characteristics of copper powder.

As the size is concerned, you should use atomized copper powder of less than 45 microns of size. This sized copper powder is also referred as fine copper powder and it is available at Kunshan Yosoar. We manufacture pure fine copper powder and the size is suitable for its use in anti-fouling paints. As the shape is concerned, then the anti-fouling paints will be useful when the copper powder used in them would be of spherical shape. This is because irregular shaped copper powder will not remain bonded to the metal surface for a long time. The spherical copper powder will work best in this regard.

Copper powder has been a major component of anti-fouling paints for a long time. The reason behind its use in this field is that atomized copper powder has biocidal properties. When it is mixed in some resin paints, it gives that specific paint anti-fouling properties. These paints are generally applied on the lower surfaces of boats so that the subaquatic organisms can not live on the metal surface of the boat. The presence of copper powder in the paint lowers and inhibits the growth of marine life. It also prevents the accumulation of such living organisms on the lower side of ship.

It is said about the copper powder that it is one of the most effective and efficient powder having excellent biocidal properties that can be used in anti-fouling paints in a more effective way.

It has also many applications in the industry of making friction products. The main reason behind the use of atomized copper powder in friction products is that it generally reduces the wear and tear of these products. Further, it also prevents the scoring of these products. As we know that copper powder has many applications as lubricants also, therefore it is used in friction products because of its lubrication properties. This lubrication overall helps in reducing friction.

The friction products basically include the break pads and clutches of automobiles, aircrafts and motorcycles etc. Other frictional components are also made using the copper powder. Brake pads, brake drums and clutches are the general friction products.

Definitely there is a wide range of applications of copper powder in the diamond tooling field. As we know that diamond is used in cutting super hard materials but this diamond can not be used alone. Instead of this, a mixture of diamond powder and copper powder is applied on the cutting tool. This combination provides extra hard strength to the cutting material and ultimately enables it to cut hard materials. These powders are mixed and joined together by sintering techniques. Therefore, you can surely utilize this copper powder in the diamond tooling field.

As already stated that atomized copper powder has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. Also, the copper powder does not offer much resistance to the flow of charges. This is the main reason that this powder can be used in some electronic devices because when there will be no resistance, temperature will not be increased to a large extent as resistance and temperature are linked with each other. Further, the copper powder has excellent thermal conductivity and this makes it a suitable choice to be used in thermal management systems. There are many industries that make use of this copper powder in making cooling systems. The only reason behind its use in these systems is that copper powder has excellent heat transferring ability.

Sintering technique is basically referred to as the use of some metal powder in making some kind of objects. Copper powder can definitely be used in the sintering process. The use of copper powder is also beneficial in the sense that it is much more cost effective and can be utilized in creating amazing shapes and structures as well. This sintering technique is becoming more and more popular because it has many benefits. The use of copper powder in this regard is much more cost effective. Further, there is no wastage of material and overall this process is easy to do. Sintering technique using copper powder can make amazing designs that would not be easily formed by other production methods.

Atomized copper powder has vast number of applications in the field of electronics. For example, the copper powder is used for the manufacturing of electrical chips and circuits. For making circuit boards, this powder is also used. Some other structural parts of electrical devices are also made using copper powder. The reason behind the usage of this powder in the electronics field is that this copper powder has excellent conductivity of electricity and heat as well. Having an excellent electrical conductivity makes it an excellent option for using it in such devices and circuits. There is another aspect to this thing. The copper powder also offers very little resistance to the electrical flow. Therefore, these were some of the characteristics of copper powder that make it a good option for its use in electronics.

For instance, an individual can use this atomized copper powder in anti-fouling paints because this powder has biocidal properties that make it one of the best available option to be used for this purpose. Similarly, this is can be used in a lot of industrial applications as well. Also because the electrical and thermal conductivity of this copper powder is excellent, this atomized copper powder is used in electronics industry.
