High Purity Pre-alloyed Iron Copper FeCu Powder

Copper-iron can be refined by adding a little bit of rare earth. Both copper and iron have a melting temperature around 1200 degrees. They are perfectly compatible.

Description of High Purity Pre-alloyed Iron Copper  FeCu Powder：

Physical properties: High-purity pre-alloyed iron copper powder is black and has a metallic luster; its density is usually around 8.9g/cm³, slightly higher than the density of pure iron. It has good electrical and thermal conductivity and can be used to manufacture the substrate and shell of electronic components.

Chemical properties: High-purity pre-alloyed iron copper powder is a kind of active metal material that quickly reacts with oxygen and water to form oxides and hydroxides. Responding to non-metallic elements, such as silicon, carbon, etc., is also easy to generate corresponding compounds at high temperatures. Therefore, special attention must be paid to prevent contact with oxygen and water during preparation and use.

Mechanical properties: high purity pre-alloyed iron copper powder has good mechanical properties; its tensile strength, yield strength and hardness indexes are more elevated than pure iron and pure copper. In addition, it also has good wear resistance and can be used to manufacture various mechanical and structural parts.

Thermal properties: High-purity pre-alloyed iron copper powder has good thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity, so it has many application prospects in the electronics industry and aerospace fields. In addition, it has a high melting point and is not easy to melt, which can be used to manufacture high-temperature components and structural parts.

Machining performance: high purity pre-alloyed iron copper powder has good machining performance and can be made into various shapes and sizes of parts through calendering, forging, extrusion and other processes. In addition, it can be further optimized through coating treatment, composite material manufacturing and other functions.

Production Method of High Purity Pre-alloyed Iron Copper  FeCu Powder：

Vacuum melting method: Vacuum melting is melting a pure metal powder of iron and copper into alloy powder in a vacuum environment. In a vacuum environment, the pure metal powder of iron and copper is mixed in a particular proportion, then melted and cooled to form a pre-alloy powder. This method can obtain the alloy powder with uniform composition and high purity, but the production cost is high.

Mechanical alloying: Mechanical alloying is a method by which metal powders of iron and copper are mixed and prepared into pre-alloyed powders by high-energy ball milling. In the ball milling process, the metal powder of iron and copper constantly collides and frictions in the ball mill and gradually forms a pre-alloy powder. The mechanical alloying method can prepare the pre-alloy powder with uniform composition and fine particle size. Still, the production cycle is long and high-energy ball milling equipment is needed.

Chemical method: The chemical method converts the compound of iron and copper into pre-alloyed powder by chemical reaction. For example, a chloride or oxide of iron and copper is reacted with a reducing agent (such as hydrogen) to synthesize a pre-alloyed powder at high temperatures. The pre-alloy powder with uniform composition and fine particle size can be prepared by chemical method, but it needs to use chemical reagents and high-temperature equipment.

Electrolysis: Electrolysis is a method of preparing pre-alloyed powder by electrolysis of a salt solution of iron and copper. During electrolysis, cations of iron and copper are precipitated on the cathode and form a pre-alloyed powder. The electrolysis method can prepare the pre-alloy powder with uniform composition and fine particle size. Still, electrolytic equipment and salt solutions with high water quality requirements are required.

Applications of High Purity Pre-alloyed Iron Copper  FeCu Powder：

Electronics industry: high-purity pre-alloyed iron-copper powder has excellent electrical and can be used to manufacture substrates and shells of electronic components. Due to its good mechanical properties and processing properties can also be used to manufacture high-precision components such as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).

Aerospace: High-purity pre-alloyed iron copper powder has excellent mechanical properties and high-temperature stability and can manufacture high-performance structural and functional parts in aerospace spacecraft. For example, it can make parts for aer engines, aircraft fuselages and wings.

Automotive manufacturing: High-purity pre-alloyed iron copper powder has corrosion resistance and can be used to manufacture components such as car bodies, chassis and engines. It can also manufacture high-performance components such as automotive fuel injection and hydraulic transmission systems.

Medical devices: High-purity pre-alloying iron copper powder has good biocompatibility and corrosion resistance and can be used to manufacture parts and implants for medical devices. For example, it can make high-precision medical devices such as artificial joints and dental implants.

Construction field: high-purity pre-alloyed iron copper powder has good mechanical and decorative properties. It can be used to manufacture decorative materials such as doors, Windows and curtain walls of buildings. It can also make high-performance structural materials such as high-rise buildings and Bridges.
