The difference between reduced iron powder and atomized iron powder

Reduced iron powder has been widely spread, and its functions and applications have been widely supported. However, a new product has emerged, atomized iron powder, which has some similar functions. Therefore, some users are confused about the differences between the two. It's not difficult to understand. Now let's introduce the difference between atomized iron powder and reduced iron powder:

Reduced iron powder

1. Reducing iron powder has two meanings: first, it comes from reducing iron oxide (such as rolled iron sheet); The second is that it can be used as a reducing agent, such as commonly used as a reducing agent in the chemical industry.

2. Atomized iron powder is a new variety of iron powder produced by high-pressure water atomization of molten iron or iron alloys. Due to the absence of impurities during the production process, it is relatively pure. Moreover, the spherical particles produced by atomization method conform to the principle of tight packing and are good raw materials for pressing mechanical parts. Therefore, the relative price is relatively high.

3. The production methods are different.

4. The shape is different. The same particle size results in different loose density.

With the need for technology, the reduction of iron powder will continuously improve technical requirements and innovate. Atomized iron powder is a new variety of iron powder, which can also be divided into water atomization and atomization. So, it is also necessary to continuously conduct in-depth research on it during application to meet the needs.
