The invention relates to a preparation method of
nickel coated
copper composite
powder. The preparation method comprises the following process steps that
copper salt and
oxalate or
carbonate take reaction to generate cupric
oxalate or
copper carbonate sediments, the filtering is carried out, pure water is used for flushing to be in a
neutral state, and solution with the concentration being 10 to 80g / L is prepared; and
nickel salt solution and the required
oxalate or
carbonate solution are prepared according to a proportion that the copper
nickel weight ratio is 2:1 to 1:2 and are added into the cupric oxalate or
copper carbonate solution for reaction to generate nickel coated copper resultants. The preparation method has the advantages that firstly, nickel salts are used for
coating copper salts, then, the
thermal decomposition is carried out, nickel coated copper
powder is obtained, the production process is simple, the operation is easy, the production cost is low, and the industrial production can be realized. The nickel coated copper
powder or
alloy prepared by the method has the morphology in a spherical shape, a near-spherical shape, an
irregular shape or a tree
branch shape, and has the advantages that the powder dispersion is uniform, no segregation is generated, the
coating effect is good, the
coating is compact, the particle size is controllable, and the like. The nickel coated copper powder or
alloy can be used for
electromagnetic shielding materials and
powder metallurgy prealloyed powder. The preparation method can be used for preparing nickel-
copper alloy powder.
