Spherical Copper Powder Description:
Our spherical copper powder has a controllable grain size, loose ratio, good compression performance, and excellent fluidity, which is a good choice for 3D printing.
The method of 3D printing copper is similar to 3D printing titanium. The process called direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) can directly produce metal objects. The products created by DMLS are about 99.99% dense, and hence can be used in place of traditional metal parts in the vast majority of applications.
About 3D Printing – From Wikipedia
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), refers to various processes used to synthesize a three-dimensional object. In 3D printing, successive layers of material are created under computer control. These objects can be of almost any shape or geometry, and are produced from a 3D model or other electronic data sources. A 3D printer is a type of industrial robot.

Spherical Copper Powder Applications:
- Electronics: Spherical copper powder is used in the manufacture of conductive inks and pastes essential for printed circuit boards (PCBs) and electronic components.
- Metal Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing): The powder is widely used in 3D printing processes, especially in selective laser melting (SLM) and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) technologies.
- Powder Metallurgy: Copper powders are utilized in powder metallurgy for producing parts by pressing and sintering, which involves compacting the powder and then heating it to form a solid mass.
- Antifouling and Biocidal Applications: Copper-based powders are used in coatings, especially for marine applications, to prevent the growth of marine organisms on hulls and other submerged surfaces.
- Conductive Fillers: Spherical copper powders serve as conductive fillers in composite materials to enhance thermal and electrical properties.
Spherical Copper Powder Packaging:
Our spherical copper powder is clearly tagged and labeled externally to ensure efficient identification and quality control. Great care is taken to avoid any damage which might be caused during storage or transportation.

Spherical Copper Powder FAQs
Q1: What is spherical copper powder?
Spherical copper powder is a form of copper that is manufactured into small, spherical particles. It is known for its high purity and uniform particle size, which makes it highly sought after in various industrial applications.
Q2: What are the properties of spherical copper powder?
This powder is known for its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, ductility, and corrosion resistance. The spherical shape of the particles often enhances flowability and density in the powders, which is critical for processes like metal injection molding and additive manufacturing.
Q3: How is spherical copper powder produced?
The powder can be produced through various methods, including atomization, which involves melting the copper and then using a high-velocity air or water stream to break the molten metal into fine particles that solidify into spherical shapes.
