IRON POWDER (Fe, Purity: 99.9%, APS: <50µm)

  Iron Powder

Iron powder is a fine metallic powder form of iron (Fe), typically produced through processes such as atomization, reduction, electrolysis, or mechanical milling. It is characterized by its fine particle size, which can range from a few micrometers to submicron dimensions, making it highly reactive and suitable for a variety of industrial and commercial applications.

Applications:

Powder Metallurgy:

Production of Parts: Iron powder is a key material in the powder metallurgy industry, where it is used to create precision parts through processes such as compaction and sintering. These parts can be used in automotive components, gears, bearings, and structural elements. Powder metallurgy allows for cost-effective production of complex shapes and high-performance parts.

Filter and Porous Materials: Iron powder is used to create porous materials and filters for use in various industries, such as automotive and oil filtration. These materials allow for efficient fluid flow while maintaining strength and durability.

Magnetic Applications:

Magnetic Materials: Fe is used to create soft magnetic materials that are employed in the manufacturing of inductors, transformers, and magnetic shielding materials. These components are crucial in electrical devices such as motors, transformers, and other power electronics, where efficient energy conversion and electromagnetic interference reduction are required.

Permanent Magnets: Iron powder is often used in the production of permanent magnets, which are essential for electric motors, speakers, and magnetic storage devices. The properties of iron allow for the development of high-performance permanent magnets that retain their magnetism over time.

Automotive Industry:

Engine Components: In the automotive sector, is used to manufacture engine parts, such as pistons, valves, and bearings. Powder metallurgy allows for the production of high-strength, lightweight components with a high degree of precision.

Braking Systems: Iron powder is used in the production of components for braking systems, such as brake pads and discs, due to its strength, wear resistance, and ability to handle high temperatures.
