Iron fine powder is a metal material powder made by metal crushing, milling and subsequent classification. This powder material has the characteristics of uniform particle size, high purity, narrow particle size distribution and wide application, which is widely used in the fields of 3D printing, metal powder metallurgy, metal materials and precision machining.
Iron fine powder is a kind of metal material with wide application range and can bring very ideal effect. In production, on the one hand, it can be used as a raw material for metal powder metallurgy, casting, welding and powder coatings. On the other hand, it can also be used as an additive for surface treatment purposes. It is used to remove scrap iron from furnace steel and iron parts, to press workpieces, to increase the lubrication performance of powder metallurgy parts, and to improve the molding of powder metallurgy parts.
In addition, iron fine powder is also commonly used in electronic materials, intermediate and fine level electronic products, semiconductors, integrated circuits, and magnets. Iron fine powder can be used to form metal particles on the surface of materials, which can increase the surface area of the material and achieve the purpose of improving its heat exchange properties, improving its thermal conductivity, and enhancing its wear resistance.
In precision machining, iron fine powder can be used as grinding wheel abrasive and cutting fluid lubricant. By grinding wheel and cutting fluid lubricant, it enables better control of processing accuracy and machining cost. During the process of precision machining, iron fine powder can also be used to process micro cutting, surface treating and grinding.
Iron fine powder can also be used in 3D printing materials, as polymer materials like ABS and PLA are incompatible with iron fine powder. Therefore, iron fine powder is generally used for 3D printing materials. Iron fine powder is good for 3D printing because of its good conductivity and strong impact resistance. It also has a wide variety of particle sizes, from very fine to coarse.
In the production of iron fine powder, the process is the same as for other metal material powders. First, the metal raw materials are treated in the form of crushing, milling and subsequent classification. Then, the qualified particles are selected according to the particle size and purity requirements of the finished products, and then classified according to the particle size specification. Finally, the qualified particles are vacuum sealed to store.
In conclusion, iron fine powder has wide application in 3D printing, metal powder metallurgy, surface treatment and precision machining. It is also used in electronic materials and magnets. During the production process of iron fine powder, crushing, milling, classification and vacuum sealing are the main procedures.
