Abstract: Electroconductive composite metal powders comprising flat non-noble metal powders, each covered with a noble metal in an amount of 2 to 30% by weight in average based on the weight of the non-noble metal powders, on 50% or more in average of the whole surface area of the non-noble metal powders, interposing a layer of a mixture of the non-noble metal and noble metal between each non-noble metal powder and a noble metal covering layer, are suitable for providing an electroconductive paste after mixing with a binder, said paste showing excellent electroconductivity and prevention of migration.
