Publication number: 20200147682Abstract: This invention provides a copper powder to which tin (Sn) is added such that a high-density laminated and shaped product can be obtained by a laminating and shaping method using a fiber laser as a heat source by appropriately reducing the electrical conductivity of copper, so a laminated and shaped product having a high density and a high electrical conductivity can be obtained. That is, this invention provides a copper powder for lamination shaping in which a tin element is added to pure copper. Desirably, the copper powder contains 0.5 wt % or more of the tin element. More desirably, the copper powder contains 5.0 wt % or more of the tin element. When the product has an electrical conductivity sufficient as a copper product, the copper powder desirably contains 6.0 wt % or less of the tin element. Furthermore, no element other than the tin element is desirably added to the copper powder.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2017Publication date: May 14, 2020Applicants: FUKUDA METAL FOIL & POWDER CO., LTD., TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH ASSOCIATION FOR FUTURE ADDITIVE MANUFACTURINGInventors: Yuji SUGITANI, Yoshito NiSHIZAWA, Takeshi MARUYAMA, Hiroaki OKUBO

Patent number: 8512436Abstract: There is provided a method for efficiently manufacturing metal nano particles without condensing laser beams by using a lens etc. In this method, first, metallic foil pieces, which are a starting material, are dispersed in a dispersion liquid. Next, laser beams are irradiated directly to the metallic foil pieces without providing a condensing means, by which many metal fine particles are yielded. The particle diameters of the metal fine particles obtained can be controlled to sizes from nano particles to submicron particles by utilizing the relationship between the shape (especially thickness) of the metallic foil piece which is a starting material and the absorbed energy of the laser beam.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2005Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignees: Kyoto University, Fukuda Metal Foil & Powder Co., Ltd., Hitachi Chemical Company, Ltd.Inventors: Mitsuo Kawasaki, Osamu Kajita, Ayu Onishi, Sachiko Masuoka, Takafumi Iwamoto, Eitaro Yasuda
