Iron (Fe) Micron Powder – Spherical (99+%, 15–53 µm, Metal Basis)

Description

Iron (Fe) Micron Powder – Spherical (99+%, 15–53 µm, Metal Basis)

Iron (Fe) Micron Powder is a high-purity spherical metallic powder with a particle size range of 15–53 µm (325 mesh) and a purity of 99+% (metal basis). With its body-centered cubic (BCC) crystal structure, iron combines mechanical durability, magnetic properties, and thermal stability, making it an important material in powder metallurgy, composites, and industrial fillers.

The spherical morphology ensures excellent flowability, packing density, and uniform sintering behavior, which makes this powder particularly well-suited for additive manufacturing, coatings, and polymer composites. Its balance of purity, particle size, and morphology provides enhanced processing efficiency compared to irregular iron powders.
