Spherical Iron Powder Reference
- Sintering temperature and shrinkage has declined considerably with the decrease in the powder size and as a result the strength increases. High strength for products made by smaller powders under high pressures and low sintering temperatures using lubricated frame wall are obtained. SEM pictures from the fracture junctions of the samples show the decrease in porosity due to the close impact of the smaller powder size.
Iron powder has several uses; for example production of magnetic alloys and certain types of steels. Iron powder is formed as a whole from several other iron particles. The particle sizes vary anywhere from 20-200 μm. The iron properties differ depending on the production method and history of a specific iron powder.
Due to its excellent magnetic properties, the electrolytic iron powder can also be used for making ferromagnetic cores. In soft magnetic applications, high purity iron powder is specifically used in ignition system components, electric motor components, solenoids, and inductors.
Commercial iron powders are classified in three types, reduced iron powder, atomized iron powder, and electrolytic iron powder, depending on the production method, and are used in various applications, taking advantage of their respective properties.
