Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily, safely and inexpensively produce ultrafine metallic powder by forming a vapor deposited metallic layer on a water absorptive high polymer layer of a base material sheet, then immersing the sheet into water, dissolving the high polymer layer into the water to suspend the metallic powder in the water and recovering the suspended metallic powder. CONSTITUTION:A glue contg. the water absorptive high polymer having high water absorptivity and excellent water solubility is coated on the base material sheet such as polyester film and is dried. A metal such as Al, Cu or Ni is formed by vacuum deposition to about<=10mum on the water absorptive high polymer layer to form a composite sheet. The composite sheet is quickly immersed into the water preferably right after the vapor deposition of the metal. The above-mentioned water absorptive high polymer layer is thereby stripped together with the vapor deposited metallic layer from the base material and further, the water absorptive high polymer is swollen and dissolved in the water. The vapor deposited metal is thus suspended in the form of the metallic powder in the water. Such powder is filtered and captured. The captured metallic powder cake is further subjected to wet pulverizing, then to spray drying. The ultrafine metallic powder having several mum average grain size, a narrow grain size distribution and nearly spherical shape is thus obtd.
