Electrolytic copper powder is obtained as a result of cathodic precipitation in the process of electrolysis of copper sulphate water solutions. Powder particles have dendritic shape. The product is used, among others, in powder metallurgy for production of sintered machine parts and construction elements, and in chemical industry.
