Iron metal

Iron metal powder is a black or silver grey metallic powder with metallic luster, high density, good electrical and thermal conductivity, easily oxidised, and widely used in metallurgy, powder metallurgy, magnetic materials, catalysts and many other fields.

VIMATERIAl offers a wide range of Iron metal powders . Our Iron metal powders have the advantages of uniform particle size, low impurity content, high chemical stability and good performance in applications. We have a professional technology research and development team, accept custom and experimental, if you need please contact us.

Physical Properties

Molecular formula: Fe

Molecular weight: 55.85

Appearance: Usually grey to grey-black amorphous fine powder.

Density: 7.86g/cm³

Melting point: 1535°C

Boiling point: 2750°C

Crystal structure: Iron has different crystal structures at different temperatures, and is body-centred cubic structure at room temperature. Below 912℃, iron exists in the form of α-Fe with body-centred cubic lattice; when the temperature rises above 912℃, it will be transformed into γ-Fe with face-centred cubic lattice; continue to raise the temperature to above 1394℃, it will be transformed into δ-Fe and return to body-centred cubic lattice.

Application

Iron and steel industry: It is used as the basic raw material for steel making, and combined with other elements through melting and other processes to make various kinds of steel products, which is an important source of steel required by construction, machinery manufacturing and other industries.

Powder metallurgy: made into high-precision, complex-shaped mechanical parts, such as gears, bearings, etc., through pressing, sintering and other processes, widely used in automotive, aerospace and other fields, to meet the special requirements for the performance and shape of the parts.

Magnetic materials: used in the manufacture of magnets, electromagnets and other magnetic devices, the use of its ferromagnetism, to provide magnetic fields for electronic equipment, electric power systems, etc., such as speakers, magnetic components in the motor.

Chemical industry: as a catalyst to participate in a variety of chemical reactions, such as in ammonia synthesis reaction to improve the reaction rate, promote the efficient synthesis of chemical products, enhance the efficiency of chemical production.

Quality Control

Each batch of our products starts from the careful selection of raw materials and goes through several advanced processes, with strict parameter control and real-time monitoring at each step. The entire production process follows the international quality management system, and the use of high-precision testing equipment carries out all-around precision testing of particle size distribution, purity, impurity content and other key indicators, without sparing any minor defects, in order to ensure the quality of each batch of products.

Packaging and Storage

Iron metal powders are packed in double vacuum bags or bottles and cartons.

Iron metal powders should be stored in a dry, cool and well-ventilated environment to avoid moisture and prolonged contact with air and water, to prevent oxidisation and rusting, and should be kept away from sources of ignition and flammable materials, and sealed to prevent the powder from flying and being contaminated by other impurities.
