Iron Powder

Iron powder is a critical material in powder metallurgy, representing about 85% of the total metal powder used. It is predominantly utilized in the production of machine parts due to its key properties.

Iron-based alloy powders are essential for creating abrasion-resistant and corrosion-resistant components. They are used in parts such as hydraulic turbine blades, nozzles, wearing rings, and hydraulic rods. Stainless steel powders, which are known for their excellent sphericity, low oxygen content, high hardness, and good toughness, are also widely employed.

Proper storage of iron powder is crucial to maintaining its quality. It should be kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from fire and heat sources, with relative humidity not exceeding 75%. The packaging must be sealed to prevent moisture exposure, and the powder should be kept separate from alkalis and alcohols. It is important to avoid storing it in mixed reservoirs, and the storage area should be equipped to handle any potential leaks.

Self-fusing Iron Base Alloy Powder

Self-fusing iron base alloys are primarily iron-carbon alloys with added chromium, boron, and silicon. These alloys are commonly used in mechanical parts to resist wear and weak acid corrosion. While their performance may not match that of nickel or cobalt base alloys, their availability and lower cost make them a popular choice.

  • Spherical powders offer better flowability and packing density, leading to improved layer uniformity and mechanical properties in 3D-printed components.

  • Factors include particle size distribution, shape, chemical composition, purity, and production method.

  • Yes, metal powders can pose hazards such as toxicity, reactivity, combustibility, and instability. Proper handling, storage, and safety protocols are essential.

  • In powder metallurgy, metal powders are compacted and sintered to produce components with complex shapes and tailored properties, often with minimal waste.

  • Yes, unused or excess metal powders from manufacturing processes can often be collected, sieved, and reused, provided they meet quality standards.
