  • First Online:
Electrochemical Production of Metal Powders

Part of the book series: Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry ((MAOE,volume 54))

Abstract

A powder is a finely divided solid, smaller than 1,000 μm in its maximum dimension. A particle is defined as the smallest unit of a powder. The particles of a powder may assume various forms and sizes, whereas powders, an association of such particles, exhibit, more or less, the same characteristics as if they were formed under identical conditions and if the manipulation of the deposits after removal from the electrode was the same [1, 2]. The size of particles of many metal powders can vary in a quite wide range from a few nanometers to several hundreds of micrometers. The most important properties of a metal powder are the specific surface, the apparent density, the flowability, and the particle grain size and distribution. These properties, called decisive properties, characterize the behavior of a metal powder.
