Technical Specifications & Labeling
The rules and labels of iron powder (commodity parameters)
For iron powder, the first heavy texture of the rules. Pure is better, and there should be few impurities. Looking at its color, it is black and gray. If there are variegated colors, the quality is impure.
Its particle size is also critical. It is appropriate to be uniform, and if it is too coarse, it is inconvenient to use, and it is easy to gather through the details. Try to sieve and measure, and the appropriate particle size can be used.
If it is marked, it is clear that its origin, purity, particle size and other parameters. The origin is different, and the quality may be different. The standard of purity is related to the use. The particle size parameter shows where it can be used. According to this technique and logo, the advantages and disadvantages of iron powder can be distinguished, and those who use it can also be used with suitable materials.
Preparation Method
Iron is a common metal. The preparation of its powder is related to various principles.
The choice of raw materials, when the pure iron ore, the texture is better. After crushing and grinding, it is made into a fine powder for subsequent reaction.
The preparation process is usually based on the reduction method. In a high temperature furnace, carbon or carbon monoxide is used as a reducing agent. When iron ore encounters, a reduction reaction occurs. The reaction step is that the oxides of high-valent iron are gradually reduced, such as iron oxide first becomes iron oxide, then ferrous oxide, and finally iron is obtained.
The mechanism of temperature control is extremely critical. If the temperature is too high, the iron powder is easy to sinter, which affects the quality; if it is too low, the reaction will be slow. It is necessary to precisely control and maintain the temperature in the furnace at a suitable range of about a thousand degrees. In this way, high-quality Iron Powder can be prepared. Its purity and particle size are all required, and it is suitable for many fields, with great benefits.

All these things, all see the function of iron powder in ancient times, or related to the national economy and people's livelihood, or related to skills and techniques, in the past, it really has a position that cannot be underestimated.
What is the Production Process of Iron Powder?
The making of iron dust has an ancient method. First take a good iron and calcine it with fire to make it red. This is the first task, to make the iron soft and easy to process.
When calcining, the fire needs to be uniform and fierce. Blast with a bellows to help the fire flourish. When the iron is red, quickly put it on the anvil and beat with a sledgehammer. The power of beating should be strong and knotted, so that the impurities of the iron gradually come out. Beat several times, and the iron will gradually purify.
After that, put the beaten iron into the fire and reheat it until it is red. At this time, or add other things, such as charcoal powder, to make the texture of the iron better. After burning, put the anvil on and beat, repeatedly.
At the end, cool the wrought iron. Either cool it naturally in the air, or immerse it in water for sudden cooling, depending on the nature of the iron powder required. In this way, the iron powder is ready. Its quality is strong and tough, and it can be used in many crafts, which is heavy by workers.
What are the Quality Standards for Iron Powder?
The Quality Standard of iron powder is valued by the world. Looking at the ancient books and texts, there are many strict regulations on the quality of iron powder.
The first priority is its purity, which should be pure and free of impurities. Impurities mixed in, such as grit into gold, will certainly damage its properties. If iron powder contains all kinds of heterogeneity, it will be harmful to be used in medicine to treat diseases or used in other ways. Therefore, if you want to get good quality iron powder, you must carefully select and remove all impurities, so that it is pure and uniform.
Second time on its particle size. Appropriate particle size is related to its effectiveness. If it is too coarse, it is difficult to disperse and integrate with other things; if it is too thin, it is easy to fly and lose, and may coalesce into a group. Ancient people often used the method of grinding and pounding to make the particle size uniform and moderate, so that it can be used smoothly.
Furthermore, the color of iron powder is also one of the standards. Those with correct color often show that its texture is excellent. The color is mixed or dark, and there is a suspicion of poor quality. The color of the first-class iron powder is as silver-white, bright and shiny, and the quality is known when viewed.
The source of the iron powder is also related to the quality. Those mined from high-quality ore and refined and smelted are of high quality and effective. If the source is not good, even if it is refined, it will be difficult to achieve the best state.
The ancients considered the quality standard of iron powder carefully. The elements of purity, granularity, color, and origin complement each other, and it is difficult to become a good iron powder without one. Later generations should follow the ancient teachings and abide by their rules, so that they can obtain high-quality iron powder, which can be used in medicine, engineering and technology, and benefit all the people.
What are the precautions for storing and transporting Iron Powder?
When storing and transporting iron filings, many precautions need to be kept in mind.
When storing, the first thing to do is to prevent moisture. Iron filings are very susceptible to moisture and rust, resulting in a decrease in their quality. Therefore, it should be stored in a dry and well-ventilated place, and avoid placing in low-lying places that are prone to water accumulation. If the storage environment has high humidity, you can consider using a desiccant to maintain a dry environment.
Secondly, it should be kept away from fire and heat sources. Although iron is not flammable, the surface area of iron filings is large. In case of open flame or high temperature, it may oxidize sharply, causing fire or even explosion. In the warehouse, fireworks are strictly prohibited, and electrical equipment must also meet fire and explosion protection standards.
Furthermore, classification and storage are indispensable. Iron filings from different sources and components should be stored separately to prevent mixing and affect subsequent use and recovery value. At the same time, make a good mark, indicating the type, source, warehousing time and other information of iron filings, which is convenient for management and traceability.
When transporting, the packaging must be stable. Commonly used packaging materials include plastic woven bags, iron drums, etc., to ensure that iron filings do not leak or scatter during transportation. For large-scale transportation, containers or special transportation vehicles can be used to ensure transportation safety.
During transportation, severe vibration and collision should also be avoided. This can prevent the packaging of iron filings from being damaged, and avoid sparks caused by collisions, which can cause danger. Transportation vehicles should be equipped with necessary fire equipment and emergency equipment for emergencies.
In addition, it is extremely important to follow relevant transportation regulations and standards. Handle necessary transportation permits and procedures to ensure legal compliance of transportation. Transportation personnel should be familiar with the characteristics of iron filings and emergency treatment methods, and be able to respond quickly and properly in case of problems during transportation.
