Abstract: Observing Cu, Al, Ni metal powder with an electron microscope, we discoveried that copper powder's melting point is much lower than the melting point of aluminum powder etc. When its size is reduced to nanometer scale. This characteristic will have great value in practical application.

Key words: nanometer, melting point, surface tension, transmission electron microscope
