Water Atomized Iron Powder

A controlled family of pure water-atomized iron powders for powder metallurgy and welding consumables. Select from four PM grades and two welding grades, then qualify the final match against chemistry, particle-size distribution, apparent density and process behaviour.

Six specified grades · two application routes · actual batch results in the shipment COA

Product specifications

Compare the full chemistry, physical properties and particle-size limits for four PM grades and two welding grades. Green density is specified at 600 MPa where a value is provided.

Product specification limits; actual batch results are provided in the shipment COA.

Chemistry and particle-size values are percentages. ≤ indicates a maximum; ≥ indicates a minimum. A dash or “Not stated” follows an unspecified source entry and does not mean zero. Select a grade to include it in your enquiry.
