Metal Powders
Manganese Metal Powder
Applications for Manganese Powder and Manganese Metal Manganese powder is used in steel production, non-steel alloy production, battery manufacture, colorants, pigments, ferrites, welding fluxes, water treatment, fuel additives, odor control, catalysts, sealants, metal coating, and circuit boards. Electrolytic manganese powder is used in supplements. In military applications, electrolytic manganese powder is used to manufacture delay powder.
Iron Powder
Iron powder is produced in many different grades for varieties of applications.
High purity fine iron powders are used to manufacture sintered components, soft magnetic components, brazing, iron fortification, friction products, printing, surface coating, welding, chemistry and polymer filtrations. Iron powder products are classified by purity, production method, grain and density. Following are some of the most widely used iron powder products.
Brazing and Welding: When joining parts together through brazing techniques, iron powder is used to create a tight seal between components. Due to its high-temperature tolerance, the iron powder melts into a liquid flux and fills the space between the other two parts that are to be joined together. For welding applications, the iron powder can be found in cored wires or as part of a coating material added on coated welded electrodes
Nickel Powder
Nickel is a lustrous, silvery-white metal with excellent resistance to corrosion. It is hard, malleable, ductile, ferromagnetic, and a reasonable conductor of heat and electricity. A member of the iron-cobalt group of metals, nickel is extensively used for making stainless steel, batteries, hard alloy, catalyst, electricity. and other corrosion-resistant alloys. In nature, nickel is a component in most meteorites, even serving as one of the criteria for distinguishing a meteorite from other minerals.
Chromium Powder
Chromium powder is typically used in pigments, dyes, corrosion/oxidation resistant plating and coating (for critical equipment), H.I.P., refractory products, superalloys, stainless steel, electronics, sputtering source, magnetic storing materials, batteries, catalysts, welding alloys, and thin-film for electronics. Chromium metal quickly became an indispensable ingredient in various industrial materials because of its unique characteristics.
