Metal Powder
Metal powder is a particulate metal or alloy feedstock characterised by chemistry, particle size and morphology.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Metal Powder is usually the aggregate of metal particles less than 1 mm. There is no uniform rule for the division of grain size interval. The ultra-fine powder of 10.5 μ m ~ 10.5 μ m is called as ultra-fine powder in the range of 10.5 μ m ~ 10.5. Each powder particle may be a single crystal or composed of many crystals, depending on the particle size and preparation method.
Metal Powder is an important part of Engineering powder, which is widely used in machinery, metallurgy, chemical industry, aerospace materials. The development of automobile industry stimulates and drives the development of powder metallurgy industry. The market capacity of China's iron-based powder metallurgy keeps increasing by 7% every year. In recent years, China's national economy has developed steadily and rapidly. The development of automobile (motorcycle), household appliances, metallurgy, chemical industry and other major industries has led to the development of powder metallurgy industry. As its basic raw materials, iron-based and copper-based metal powders are bound to be developed.
Flow, packing and surface condition affect deposition or mould filling. Oxygen and other contamination influence the resulting material.
Different powder processes need different particle distributions. Consolidation and heat treatment establish the finished part's properties.
What turns activity into demand
Compare feedstock through flow, defects and the final material. Separate powder mass from consolidated components and manufacturing services.
The commercial boundary
Separate powder mass from consolidated components and manufacturing services.
