Iron Powder

Iron Powders are manufactured by mainly three process reduced iron powder, atomized powder, and electrolytic iron powder. Each type is used in various applications depending on their properties.

Iron Powders are manufactured by mainly three processes: reduced iron powder(RIP), atomized powder(AIP), and electrolytic iron powder(EIP). Each type is used in various applications depending on their properties.

Iron powder has many uses in powder metallurgy, including:

  • Powder metallurgy parts
  • Welding electrodes
  • Advanced oxidative agents for water treatment
  • Food fortifying agents
  • Metal injection molding
  • Catalysts
  • Fuels
  • Magnetic materials
  • Chemical catalysts
  • Metal reduction
  • Alloy additives
  • Diamond tools

Iron powder is also used in:

  • Soil remediation
  • Water purification
  • Bearings and filter parts
  • Machine parts
  • Hand warmers
  • High strength/wear-resistant parts
  • Friction parts (mainly automobile parts)
  • Oxygen scavengers
  • Antiseptic substance in food packing
  • Reducing agent
