Production Method of 3D Printing Aluminum Spherical Copper Powder : 

Preparation of raw materials: It is necessary to prepare high-purity copper raw materials, as well as appropriate alloying elements and auxiliary materials. Copper raw materials can be purchased or homemade. The type and amount of alloying elements and auxiliary materials need to be adjusted according to the specific production process and product requirements.

Crushing and grinding: the prepared copper raw material is crushed and ground to make its particle size reach the required range. This step is generally carried out by equipment such as ball mills or grinders, and the intensity of crushing and grinding needs to be adjusted according to the specific production process and product requirements.

Mixing and dispersion: the crushed and ground copper powder is mixed and dispersed with other alloying elements and auxiliary materials to make it evenly distributed. This step is generally carried out by high-speed mixers or mixers and other equipment, and the mixing and dispersion parameters need to be adjusted according to the specific production process and product requirements.

Spherification treatment: The mixed and dispersed copper powder is spherically treated to make its shape smoother and uniform. This step is generally carried out by electroless copper plating or copper plating, and the parameters of spherification need to be adjusted according to the specific production process and product requirements.

Heat treatment: The spherically treated copper powder is heat treated to remove impurities and gases and make it achieve the required physical and mechanical properties. This step is generally carried out by vacuum heat treatment or atmosphere heat treatment, and the parameters of heat treatment need to be adjusted according to the specific production process and product requirements.

Surface treatment: The surface treatment of the copper powder after heat treatment, such as electroless copper plating or electroplating copper, to enhance its surface conductivity and wear resistance. This step is generally carried out by chemical copper plating or copper plating, and the surface treatment parameters need to be adjusted according to the specific production process and product requirements.

Screening: The surface-treated copper powder is screened to remove large and small particles and ensure that the particle size distribution of the powder meets the requirements. This step is generally carried out by vibrating screen or rotating screen equipment, and the screening parameters must be adjusted in accordance with the production process specific and the product's requirements.

Packaging: The sifted copper powder is packaged to avoid being affected by moisture, oxygen, and other impurities and to ensure better stability and reliability during use. Packaging materials should be moisture-proof, oxygen-proof, dust-proof, and other functions to ensure the quality and reliability of copper powder.
