HOW TO PREVENT COPPER POWDER FROM ATMOSPHERIC OXIDATION

Q. We require method to prevent Copper Powder from Atmospheric Oxidation After Annealing/ Reduction? Any material or solution in which Copper Powder can be soaked and then dried leaving a coating on Powder particle can be considered.

Mr Manish Sarda,

Copper powder can be treated with a Tarnish prevention solution. This is available in India, in Chennai from a supply house of Plating chemicals. After the powder has reached room temperature , it should be dipped in the Anti Tarnish for 30 seconds, drained and dried normally.
