Metals & alloy powders

Copper Alloy Powders

Copper-base alloy powders, from bronze and brass to other specified copper systems. Begin with the grade or target composition and the forming route.

Powder material specimens; appearance reference

Choose a material

Bronze and brass

Distinguish Cu-Sn bronze from Cu-Zn brass. Give the composition limits and whether the process needs pre-alloyed powder or an elemental blend.

Other copper alloy systems

Cu-Ni, Cu-Cr-Zr, Cu-P and Cu-Al need separate composition briefs. Match particle profile and oxygen criteria to the forming, sintering or coating route.

Material selection guide

Start with the material identity and process, then check the details on the proposed datasheet.

Alloy composition

Specify the alloy grade or elemental limits. Distinguish pre-alloyed powder from an elemental blend and state the required supply form.

Particle profile

Record size distribution, morphology, oxygen and flow/apparent density where relevant to the process.

Process & evaluation

Describe pressing, sintering, coating or conductive-formulation use. The chemistry alone does not define processing behavior.

Before you choose

Is a Cu-Sn elemental blend equivalent to pre-alloyed bronze powder?

They are different feedstocks. State which architecture your process requires and agree the chemical and particle acceptance criteria before comparing options.

What does this directory cover?

Elemental copper is listed under non-ferrous metals. Powder, paste, wire and finished components are separate supply forms.

What to include in your request

A material name or reference datasheet is enough to start. Add any requirements you already know.

  • Alloy grade or composition limits
  • Pre-alloyed versus blend requirement
  • Particle profile, oxygen and flow/density
  • Forming/sintering or formulation route

Quantity, samples and documents

Nike has no fixed minimum order. Tell us the quantity you need; we’ll check supplier pack sizes and any minimums.

We’ll check the proposed grade, sample options, delivery timing and available batch documents. Include any essential COA, TDS or SDS requirements.
