Iron Powder Typical
Applications
Iron powder is used in many
different industries. Following are examples of Iron Powder
applications.
Sintered Components
| Metal powders open up new
possibilities for creative and cost-effective design solutions. Almost
80% of global iron and steel powder production is converted into
sintered components. The manufacturing process involves the shaping of a
tailor-made powder formulation by pressure and heat (sintering).
Sintered components offer design freedom, almost 100% material
utilization and many other benefits. |
 |
Over 40 million sintered
components are produced every day for use in numerous applications including
vehicles, power tools and white goods.
Our high purity iron powders may be used for sintered parts with or without
adding other metallic powders.
Soft Magnetic Composites
| Soft Magnetic Composites (SMC) is the
internationally recognized name for pressed and heat-treated metal
powder components with three-dimensional (3D) magnetic properties. SMC
materials are composed of surface-insulated iron powder particles, that
are compacted to form uniform isotropic components with complex shapes
in a single step. |
 |
The use of these materials now
makes innovative electrical machine designs industrially viable.
Brazing
| High temperature brazing is a joining
process carried out under vacuum or in a controlled (reducing)
atmosphere with a brazing temperature above 900°C. At brazing the
brazing filler metal melts and is drawn by capillarity while molten into
the thin space between the base material (not melted) that are to be
joined. When cooled a strong and leak free metallurgical bond is
created. |
 |
Chemical and Metallurgical
Iron powder can be used in several chemical and metallurgical processes from the
production of aluminum foil to magnetic paints.
Our products also play a role in
the recycling of industrial chemicals and are utilized in steel plants and may
be used in pharmaceutical industry.
For some applications there is more or less no alternative to iron powder. These
applications often have special requirements for specific properties and
stringent demands for consistency. In other applications the high surface area
and/or purity of iron powder can offer more cost-effective solutions compared to
alternative methods.
Friction
| Friction materials are utilized in the
braking systems of automobiles, commercial vehicles, aircraft,
motorcycles, trains and off-road vehicles and in other industrial
applications. In simple terms, these materials help stop vehicles as a
part of the brake pad or drum brake lining. The exact composition of a
brake lining is often a closely guarded secret, and the process of
achieving it is almost as much an art as a science. |
 |
Iron powder is a key
ingredient in semi-metallic brake linings, enhancing both the performance and
the long-term reliability and durability of the product.
Surface Coating
Thermal surfacing - an opportunity to achieve the desired performance
characteristics on exposed metal surfaces.
| Iron powders may be used as
high-quality thermal surfacing powders. They offer a proven,
cost-effective method to improve both the performance and endurance of
components in high-wear and corrosive environment. Examples include
engine valves, printing rollers, glass bottle moulds and steel rollers.

 |
Research and Education
| Physical science experiments involving magnets and
electromagnetism use iron powders in many different ways. Chemical science
experiments such as making iron compounds also benefit from high purity of our
iron powders. |
