Reduced(Sponge) Iron Powder
Reduced iron powder(aslo known as sponge iron powder) is a high-purity iron powder prepared through a process that reduces iron oxide to metallic iron. Common reducing agents used in this process include carbonaceous materials and hydrogen gas, which promote the chemical reaction.
This reaction requires high temperatures, usually above 800°C, to provide the necessary heat for the reaction. During the process, iron oxide reacts with the reducing agent, producing metallic iron and by-products such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, or water vapor, depending on the reducing agent used.
Our factory uses high-quality, pure magnetite (Fe3O4) as the raw material for reduced iron powder. This iron ore, with an iron content of over 71% after ball milling and ore dressing treatment, is subjected to a primary reduction with carbon and a secondary reduction with hydrogen gas, resulting in high-quality, pure industrial reduced iron powder with an iron content greater than 98%.
Our reduced iron powder features high purity, stable performance, large specific surface area, and moderate bulk density. It is suitable for cold pressing and serves as an excellent raw material for powder metallurgy, diamond tools, friction materials, environmental water treatment, and magnetic materials applications.

Reduced iron powder is an important raw material in powder metallurgy and has a wide range of applications, mainly including the following:
- Powder metallurgy: Reduced iron powder is a crucial raw material for the preparation of other metal powders, such as cobalt, nickel, tungsten, and molybdenum. It can be used as a sintering agent to improve the sintering performance of metal powders, resulting in high-density metal products.
- Magnetic materials: Reduced iron powder is also widely used in the preparation of various soft and hard magnetic materials, such as ferrites and neodymium-iron-boron magnets.
- Metal surface coatings: Reduced iron powder can be used to prepare various metal surface coatings, such as chromium, nickel, and aluminum, enhancing the hardness, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance of the metal surfaces.
- Electronics components: Reduced iron powder can be used to produce various electronic components, such as inductors and capacitors.
- Pharmaceuticals: Reduced iron powder has applications in the pharmaceutical industry, such as the production of iron-based drugs and medical materials.
In summary, reduced iron powder has extensive applications across various fields. With its relatively low cost and simple preparation process, it has garnered widespread attention and use.
