Detailed Product Description

Carbonyl Iron Powder for Metal Injection Molding Applications

As is known to all, MIM is a modern technology to produce precision parts with excellent strength, density and surface texture quality.

For MIM technology, very fine carbonyl iron powder has long been used in industrial production since the process was developed.

CIP grades tailored to customer needs regarding C, N and O content and particle size distribution are available. Our consistent powder quality also enhances the stability of the MIM manufacturing process. Soft CIP grades are also processed into high-value iron-alloys. 

Suitable grades for this application:

YTF-01   Fe> 97.5%, C< 0.9%, N< 0.9%, O< 0.8%   average particle size 4.0 micron

Carbonyl Iron Powder for Diamond Tool Applications

CIP is a viable substitute for the cobalt binder in the production of high performance hardmemtals or diamond tools.The use of CIP in the production of cutting and grinding tools for concrete or natural stone has become a standard technology. Diamonds or other abrasive materials like cubic boron nitride have to be embedded in a matrix. Iron-based bonds have several advantages compared to the formerly used matrices based on Cobalt. Besides superior tool performance, CIP based binders offer economic and ecological advantages.

In the diamond bond CIP will enhance the bond density and hardness. CIP grades can be combined with all other metal powders like Co, Ni, Cu, and can be used to enhance the performance of ready-made bond powder formulations.

Carbonyl Iron Powder for Diamond Synthesis Applications

CIP is an essential catalyst component in advanced powder-based processes for the synthesis of industrial diamonds. These processes yield diamonds of considerably higher quality than conventional technology.

The constant CIP quality and its chemical purity are
key factors to assure the stability of the diamond production process.

Carbonyl Iron Powder for Microwave Absorption  Applications

Spherical particles of carbonyl iron are used as a component of the radar absorbing materials used in military for eg. vehicles.

Carbonyl Iron Powder for Magneto- Rheological Fluids (MRFs) Applications

Particles of carbonyl iron (20-40%) suspended in a carrier fluid (60-80%) are used as a magneto-rheological fluid. These liquids exhibit rather exciting magnetic properties with broad application possibilities. A wide variety of electronically controllable devices have been developed on the basis of MRFs, like shock absorbers and clutches for cars, treadmills, lense polishing systems, or prosthetics.

Carbonyl Iron Powder for Magnetic Printing Inks Applications

With its unique magnetic characteristics CIP is an excellent pigment for printed security items. Tickets, banknotes, and passports can be equipped with magnetic imprints as fraud prevention. The spherical morphology of CIP makes processing into printing inks and pastes straightforward and enables all standard printing techniques.

Carbonyl Iron Powder for Pharmaceutical and Nutritional Applications

In , carbonyl iron powder is used to treat and as an iron .

Due to its high purity and surface area, CIP is an excellent source of iron for food supplements.
