FE100.29: High Purity Water Atomized Iron Powder
FE100.29 is a premium, high-density iron powder manufactured via a precise water atomization process. This method produces irregular, solid particles that interlock efficiently, resulting in high green strength and superior compressibility. With a nominal mesh size of 100 and high apparent density, FE100.29 is the material of choice for producing high-strength sintered structural components where durability and density are critical.
Its low impurity profile and consistent particle size distribution also make it an effective additive for industrial flame cutting and chemical applications.
Common Uses of FE100.29
FE100.29 is widely utilized in heavy industry and metallurgy, including:
- Powder Metallurgy (P/M): Production of high-density, high-strength machine parts and gears.
- Flame Cutting: Added to oxy-fuel flames to increase temperature and improve cutting efficiency on stainless steel and high-alloy slags.
- Welding Electrodes: Used in the coating of high-efficiency welding rods.
- Chemical Production: High-purity iron source for chemical synthesis.
- Magnetic Composites: Manufacture of soft magnetic components requiring high density.
