Specification Options
Particle size distribution 10 – 150 microns
Mean particle size 20, 45, 60, 100 microns
Powder shape Irregular, spherical
Apparent density Up to 75% theoretical
Flow rate Up to 25 s/50g
Purity Up to 99.9%
Alloy variants CuZn10, CuZn30, CuZn37

Smaller particle sizes below 45 microns allow greater densification but reduces flowability.

Spherical powder provides better flow and packing density suited for additive manufacturing.

Higher apparent density and flow rates improve powder handling and processing.

High purity variants available for more demanding applications.

Range of zinc levels between 10-40% available for varying strength-ductility.

CuZn40 powder can be customized in terms of particle size, shape, density, flow characteristics and alloy composition based on application requirements.

Consolidation Methods for CuZn40 powder

CuZn40 powder can be processed into full density components using techniques like:

Method Details
Compaction + Sintering Older economical method with shape limits.
Metal Injection Molding (MIM) Net shape parts with excellent precision and surface finish.
Additive Manufacturing Direct printing of complex, dense parts from CAD models.
Hot Extrusion For simple, axisymmetric shapes like rods and tubes.
Roll compaction For sheet and strips requiring good ductility.

Pressing followed by sintering is commonly used but requires secondary processing for full densification.

MIM offers highest precision and surface finish but needs high volumes to justify tooling costs.

Additive manufacturing methods like binder jetting and fused deposition modeling are gaining popularity for design flexibility.

Extrusion and rolling well suited for simple geometries like bars, sheets etc. leveraging ductility.

The consolidation method controls final properties like density, precision, surface finish and microstructure.

Heat Treatment of CuZn40 Parts

Heat treatment of CuZn40 parts helps tailor a range of mechanical properties:

Heat Treatment Purpose
Solution annealing Restores ductility after cold working
Stress relieving Removes residual stresses
Precipitation hardening Strengthening by aging after solutionizing

Annealing at 700-900°C followed by slow cooling softens the alloy by removing effects of cold work allowing further forming.

Low temperature age hardening in 150-350°C range causes precipitation of copper-rich phase increasing strength up to 50% but with loss of ductility.

Stress relieving around 300-500°C helps reduce residual stresses from prior shaping.

Heat treatment expands the versatility of CuZn40 alloy by enabling property enhancements as per application needs.

Comparison of CuZn40 with Alternatives

Here is how CuZn40 compares to other popular copper alloy powders:

Alloy CuZn40 CuSn6 CuNi18Zn20 Bronze
Strength High Medium Highest Medium
Ductility High Medium Low Medium
Corrosion Resistance Good Excellent Excellent Excellent
Thermal Conductivity 120 W/m-K 50 W/m-K 20 W/m-K 60 W/m-K
Cost Low High High Medium

CuSn6 has superior corrosion resistance but lower strength and thermal conductivity. More expensive.

CuNi18Zn20 has the highest strength but lowest ductility and thermal conductivity.

Bronzes like CuSn10 offer excellent corrosion resistance but only moderate strength.

CuZn40 provides the most balanced overall properties and has the lowest cost.

Owing to its well-rounded properties, excellent formability, machinability and low cost, CuZn40 is the most popular copper alloy powder for wide usage across industrial segments.
