Title: Innovations of Atsushi Ebara in Copper Powder Production
Introduction
Atsushi Ebara is a prominent inventor based in Tokyo, Japan, known for his significant contributions to the field of materials science. With a total of nine patents to his name, Ebara has focused on developing innovative methods for producing high-quality copper powder.
Latest Patents
One of Ebara's latest patents involves a novel method for producing inexpensive copper powder with a low oxygen content, even at small particle diameters. This method allows for the creation of copper powder that has a high shrinkage starting temperature when heated. The process involves heating molten copper to a temperature exceeding its melting point by 250 to 700°C, preferably between 350 to 650°C. During this process, high-pressure water is sprayed onto the molten copper in a non-oxidizing atmosphere, such as nitrogen or argon, to rapidly cool and solidify the metal. The resulting copper powder has an average particle diameter of 1 to 10 μm and an oxygen content of 0.7% by weight or less.
Career Highlights
Ebara is currently employed at Dowa Electronics Materials Co., Ltd., where he continues to innovate in the field of materials production. His work has not only advanced the technology behind copper powder but has also contributed to various applications in electronics and other industries.
