Reduced Iron Powder has a very porous structure resulting in a very low Apparent Density (AD). Thus it is widely used in applications where larger surface area & porosity is required like Self-Lubricating Bearings, Sintered Bushed, Welding Flux. High purity can also be achieved in this type of Iron Powder.

Reduced Iron Powder has a very wide industrial applications, some of it’s major applications are as below :
Stainless Steel Cutting – Iron powder is widely used in Industry for Cutting of Stainless Steel. It is added to the flame for SS-Cutting along with the Oxygen stream to provide higher temperature for cutting of Stainless Steel.
PM Sintered Parts – Reduced Iron Powder is having a porous structure, thus it is widely used for manufacturing Sintered parts.
Welding Electrodes / Flux – Iron powder is used for the manufacturing of the Flux of Welding Electrodes.
Body Warmers – The Oxidizing property of Iron Powder is very beneficial in making Body Warmers, as the oxidizing process is exothermic.
Oxygen Absorbers – The Iron powder is having a oxidizing property, which indeed absorbs the Oxygen present around.
It is offered as per customer’s requirement of Flow Rate, Mesh Size etc. Typical specifications of Reduced type Iron Powder for different applications are :
