Youyan Heavy Metallurgy (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Youyan Powder Materials, stock code 688456) has been granted an invention patent for "Preparation Method and Apparatus for Nano Copper-Coated Metal Composite Powder," with publication number CN118218607B and authorization date September 18, 2026. Technical highlights: The patent provides a low-cost, controllable method for preparing core-shell structured nano copper-coated metal composite powders. It inhibits oxidation and agglomeration of nano copper, improves dispersibility and sintering activity, and enables large-scale production, directly addressing industrialization pain points such as easy oxidation, storage difficulties, and high costs of nano copper powder. Industry background: Highly active nano copper powder has passed validation by leading electronic paste companies and is being supplied in small batches, targeting applications in PCB copper paste, power chip packaging, and photovoltaic conductive paste. The patent authorization further consolidates Youyan's position in domestic substitution of nano metal powders.
