Non Ferrous Powders

Copper Alloy powder

Production technique: water atomization from molten alloy, sieving
Composition: Beside standard copper alloys based on tin and zinc, Pometon can manufacture  other pre-alloyed grades using other metals like Phosphorous, Nickel, Manganese
Today most relevant grade is based on a Cu-P alloy whcih is appreciated because of its low-melting point, and de-oxidising action. Other  alloys can be considered as result of peculiar requirements by customer followed by a co-design phase.
