Aluminum Powder

Aluminum powder is produced by air atomization process The resulting powder might then be processed further in a ball mill to flatten it into flakes for use as a coating or pigment.

Aluminum powder is used in powder metallurgy to fabricate complex parts. It's a well-developed, cost-effective process that involves die compaction and sintering.

Aluminum powder is normally coated with a layer of aluminum oxide unless the particles are freshly formed.

There are two main types of aluminum powder:

  • Flake: Made by stamping cold metal
  • Granulated: Made from molten aluminum

Aluminum powder is used for several applications, including:

  • Manufacture of slurry, explosive, and detonators
  • Thermit process used for manufacture of ferro alloys
  • Specialized welding applications such as rails
  • Pyrotechnic to manufacture crackers, sparkles, and other pyrotechnic product
