Cupro-Phosphor Powder


Cupro-phosphor powder is produced through a water atomization process of molten alloy, primarily copper and phosphorus. Depending on the water pressure and the flow rate of the molten alloy, the cupro-phosphor powder varies in particle size upon exit. It is classified in mesh units. The larger the mesh size, i.e., the higher the mesh value, the smaller the particle size and the greater the surface coverage. Its main applications are in sintered parts, plastics, transportation, particularly for brake components, and chemistry.
