Overview of Iron Powder
Iron Powder is a finely divided metallic form of iron, produced through processes such as atomization, reduction, or electrolytic methods. It appears as a grey to black powder and is widely used across industrial, metallurgical, chemical, and manufacturing sectors due to its high purity, magnetic properties, and excellent reactivity.
In industrial applications, Iron Powder is a critical raw material in powder metallurgy, where it is used to manufacture sintered components, automotive parts, gears, bearings, and structural elements. Its controlled particle size and compressibility make it ideal for producing high-strength, precision-engineered components.
Iron Powder is also extensively used in welding electrodes, friction materials, magnetic applications, chemical synthesis, water treatment, and diamond cutting tools. In chemical and environmental applications, it acts as a reducing agent and is used for contaminant removal and wastewater treatment.
