Iron powder

Iron powder. 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.

There are numerous uses for iron powder based on its ultimate application. Some types of applications include, but are not limited to, the following:

– Welding and Brazing: When joining parts together through brazing techniques, iron powder is used to create a tight seal between components. For welding applications, iron powder can be found in cored wires or as part of a coating material added on coated welded electrodes.

– Friction Materials and Products: Certain products, such as vehicles, trains and aircraft, use friction to slow down. Iron powder is added into brake pads, drum brake lining and other applications to create the necessary amount of friction.

– Soft Magnetic Composites: Iron powder can also be used in the composition of soft magnetic composites. These soft magnetic composites are often then used in electromagnetic applications.

– Thermal Surface Coating: Due to the thermal properties of iron, iron powder is sought after as a surface coating for parts that will experience high temperatures.
