The use of iron powder

Iron powder is one of the most important metal powders in the powder metallurgy industry. The largest amount of iron powder is used in powder metallurgy production. The consumption of iron powder accounts for about 85% of the total metal powder consumption. The main market for iron powder is the manufacturing of mechanical parts, and the amount of iron powder needed accounts for about 80% of the total iron powder production. Reduced iron powder used in medical, sewage treatment, rubber, precious metals, manganese products, sponge copper, titanium dioxide and other industries. In addition to the above-mentioned most widely used industrial applications, iron powder can also be used as a reducing agent, and can also be used as an anti-staling agent to prevent deterioration of the oil. This is a relatively small practical use in our daily life.

There is also a special type of iron powder - hydroxy iron powder. As for the hydroxy iron powder produced by the carbonyl method, because of its fine particles and expensive, it is not suitable for sintering ordinary mechanical parts and welding electrodes; but its high purity and special grain structure , showing excellent performance. *** Powder has high magnetic flux at high frequency and ultra-high frequency, and it is also widely used in the manufacture of magnetic materials. It has an irreplaceable role in the production of high-frequency iron powder cores. High-performance diamond tools use expensive cobalt powder as the matrix, and the use of powder can partially replace Co powder, achieving high performance while reducing costs.
