THE ROLLING OF COPPER STRIP FROM HYDROGEN-REDUCED AND OTHER POWDERS

Abstract

Copper powders were rolled to form strip in a normal two-high mill. Satisfactory green strip was obtained from the low-density powder produced by hydrogen reduction from aqueous solution, provided that a mechanical method was used to feed the powder into the rolls. All the types of powder investigated required considerable further rolling after compaction, with at least two heat-treatments, to produce normal mechanical properties.
