composite powders were prepared by hydrogen reduction of from ammoniacal copper sulfate solution on alumina core using autoclave. The copper reduction rate and the properties of copper layer were investigated using Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM), X-ray diffractometer, size and chemical analyzers. The reduction rate of showed the maximum value when the molar ratio of []/[] was 2. In order to prevent the agglomeration of Cu powder and ethane reduction rate, and anthraquinone which act as catalysis were added in the solution. Catalysis was effectively chanced with the addition of two elemerts at a time. Optimum conditions obtained in this study were hydrogen reduction temperature of 205, stirring speed of 500 rpm and hydrogen partial pressure of 300 psi. Obtained composite Powders were found to have the uniform and continuous copper coating layer of nodule shape with 3~5 m thickness.
