A
metal powder production method comprises the steps of melting
metal, atomizing and the like, wherein a
benzotriazole additive is added in the process of atomization, and the
benzotriazole additive accounts for 0.005%-0.05% of the melted
metal liquid in weight. According to the
metal powder production method, an additive is selected in the process of metal power production in an atomization method, the properties of the addictive, the interaction between the additive and the metal and the favorable environment of atomization are used, and therefore the additive is atomized to form a protective layer which can avoid oxidation and
caking on the surface of the
metal powder.
Metal powder products which are produced through the
metal powder production method such as lead
powder,
tin powder and
copper powder are packed with normal packaging, the amount of returned goods caused by oxidation or
caking is reduced more than 98%, and the oxidative
deterioration rate of the metal powder products can be controlled within the range of 0.5%-5%. Due to the fact that the normal packaging is used, the production cost is reduced effectively, the safety of a production
system is good, the returned goods rate is reduced greatly, economic benefit is remarkable, and at the same time the
working environment of workers is improved, and physical and
mental health of the workers is ensured.
