Modification of the Surface of the Iron Powder as an Ingredient of the High Calorific Mixture (original) (raw)
Textural properties of iron powders obtained by reduction of iron(II) compounds and by electrolysis were determined. Their specific surfaces were 0.38 and 0.43 m 2 g -1 respectively, and the prevailing grain sizes amounted to 10 and 43 µm respectively. Total content of the determined metallic impurities was 0.055 wt.% in the preparation obtained by the electrolysis while in the preparation obtained by reduction it was 0.025 wt.%. It was proved that in initial samples the α-Fe2O3 phase occurred in the outer oxide layer present on the surface of Fe grains, and below this phase a layer of magnetite was found, the thickness of which was considerably greater in iron obtained by electrolysis. Measurements of selected properties showed that modification of the iron powder surface carried out by reduction with dihydrogen led to decreasing the linear rate of burning of the high calorific mixture Fe/KClO 4 but it did not affect its calorific value. Moreover, it was found that modification of ...

Physico-chemical Properties of Mill Scale Iron Powders
ISIJ International
Powdered form of iron typically < 250 microns is phrased as iron powder. Commercial manufacturing of iron powder is majorly restricted to atomization, carbonyl, electrolytic and reduction routes. Powders from the later three techniques generally cater to special iron powders applicable to non-powder metallurgy segments such as food fortification, chemical reagents, water purification, etc. In this work, mill scale iron powders are synthesized by thermo-chemical reduction of mill scale, a steel industry by product, and their properties are analysed and compared with commercial iron powders such as carbonyl, electrolytic and reduced. Chemical and physical characterizations such as Optical Microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray Diffraction of the powders are performed. Obtained results reveal that, mill scale iron powders MIP and MIP45 possess good product properties. Especially, MIP45 grade exhibited finer particle size of D 50 < 30 microns and BET surface area of 0.63 m 2 /g along with Fe (T) > 98%, true density-7.55 g/cc, apparent density 2.67-2.83 g/cc, packed bulk density of 3.44 g/cc and good flowability. This product of mill scale with highest apparent density and good surface area is expected to qualify to new segment of applications along with other commercial iron powders.
Iron Powders from Steel Industry by-products
ISIJ International, 2018
Global iron and steel making industries generate immense number of by-products, among which few are already being utilized for the generation of high value products, while few are still struggling to gather a good market space. Waste utilization is the major concern for every industrial maker. In this context, iron powder which holds immense market in applications like powder metallurgy (PM) parts, welding electrodes, advanced oxidative agents for water treatment, food fortifying agents, metal injection moulding, catalysts, fuels etc., can now be a novel outcome from steel industry by-products. Iron powder can be manufactured by various techniques like reduction, atomization, electrolysis, etc., resulting in fine particles of various morphologies ranging from spherical to irregular shapes and low to high purity. The application of these iron powders is depended on the process, quality and purity of the desired product.

This article describes the solution combustion synthesis technique as applicable to iron oxide powder production using urea as fuel and ferric nitrate as an oxidizer. It focuses on the thermodynamic modeling of the combustion reaction under different fuel-to-oxidant ratios. X-ray diffraction showed magnetite (Fe3O4) and hematite (α-Fe2O3) phase formations for the as-synthesized powders. The smallest crystallite size was obtained by stoichiometric chemical reaction. The magnetic properties of the samples are also carefully discussed as superparamagnetic behavior.

The Electrochemical Facing of Powder Iron for Thermogalvanic Elements
KPI Science News, 2019
Background. The oxygen impact for electrochemical formation of surface structures on iron particles is not sufficiently taken into account in the production technology of composite electrodes for thermogalvanic energy sources; the main conditions of the performance improvement are considered. Objective. The aim of the paper is to define the electrochemical conditions of oxide layers formation on the surface of the iron powder composite electrode with the presence of oxygen in neutral and basic media. Methods. For better performance of the oxygen impact the study of composite electrodes was conducted in open air and inert atmosphere, the assembly of cells with composite electrodes was carried out on air in two versions: hermetic and perforated. Electrochemical studies were carried out on the electrochemical module Autolab 30 PGSTAT301N Metrohm Autolab using 3-electrode cells. The microtexture of the iron powder during redox reactions was examined using a high resolution scanning electron microscope Mira 3 FESEM Tescan USA Inc. on a cathode with field emission at SEM HV-10 KeV and automatic measurement on the image. The analytical regime of the scanning microscope was used to determine the surface components distribution and their degrees of oxidation. Results. It was determined that with a low oxygen partial pressure in potential range from 0.23 to 0.88 V surface iron structure has two stages of organization: 1-mosaic stage with partial covering of iron surface FeO and Fe 2 O 3 ; 2-transformation of mosaic structure into coreshell structure. Under a high oxygen partial pressure and cathodic potential 0.88 V thick iron oxide layers have been formed on the surface structure of iron particles. Thus, the oxygen partial pressure has a key role in electrochemical formation of nanolayers on the surface of iron particles and realizes the thermoelectrochemical activity of composite electrodes. Conclusions. The study found that thermoelectric parameters of an electrode based on iron powder are determined as a function of the pH of the medium and the oxygen content. In the neutral medium electrodes lose ability to reversible processes needed for the formation of the thermogalvanic properties. The ability of a powdered iron-composite electrode to a thermo-galvanic element is formed in an alkaline medium.
ANALYSIS OF EFFECTS OF HEAT TREATMENT PROCEDURES ON CHARACTERISTICS OF IRON
The initial study was conducted on unalloyed ductile iron castings. The effect of austempering time was examined by varying austempering time in the range of 30 minutes to 90 minutes, while keeping austenitization temperature and austempering temperature constant. It was found that with the increase of austempering time, the tensile strength increased significantly. However, at 90 minutes the tensile strength decreased. The optimum temperature was found to be 60 minutes. The second variable was the effect of austenitization temperature on ductile iron. Based on the result of the first experiment, the austempering was carried out for 90 minutes. The austempering temperatures were kept at 270ºC and 370ºC. The austenitization temperature was varied from 850ºC to 925ºC. The study revealed that tensile strength increased at 900ºC but it decreased at 925ºC. The third major variable involving the effect of alloying additions on ductile iron, was studied by adding copper with three different values i.e. 0.5 wt. %, 1.0 wt. % and 1.5 wt. %. The fourth melt was without the addition of copper. It was found that with the increase of copper the tensile strength continued to increase up to 1.5 wt. %. The second alloying addition was nickel. One melt was made without nickel while the remaining three melts were made with the addition of 1.0 wt. %, 2.0 wt. % and 3.0% nickel. The tensile strength increased correspondingly with the increase in the addition of nickel to 3.0 wt. %. The effect of a combination of copper and nickel on ductile iron was also examined. The effect of the last alloying element which was studied was lanthanum. Four melts were made for this study. The first melt was without the addition of lanthanum while the remaining three had 0.006 wt.%, 0.02 wt.% and 0.03 wt.% lanthanum. The results indicated that the tensile strength increased with the increase of lanthanum content with and without austempering. Furthermore, the highest nodule count was obtained with 0.03 wt. % lanthanum while the nodularity remained almost unchanged. Thus, it was observed that the addition of alloying elements results in an increase of tensile strength. The optimum austempering time was 90 minutes and the optimum austenitizing temperature was found to be 900ºC.
Preparation of iron Powders by Reduction of Rolling Mill Scale
2013
The objective of this work is the recycling of mill scale formed during the steel hot rolling process with a reducing gas (carbon monoxide) in order to produce iron powder having characteristics required by powder metallurgy. The reduction was carried out at various temperatures (7501050°C) during different times ranging between 40 and 180 min in an atmosphere of pure CO. The produced iron powder was characterized by chemical analysis, x-rays diffraction, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. These methods of investigation confirm the presence of iron, graphite and iron carbide (Fe3C) as the products of reactions. The maximum iron content (98.40% Fe) in the iron powder was obtained by reduction of mill scale at 1050°C for 180 min. A reduction annealing under hydrogen makes it possible to decrease carbon and oxygen content of the reduced iron powder up to acceptable values.

This study was carried out with an intention to prepare iron-based powders from metallurgy industry waste called Calamine. The latter consists of oxides scale formed on the surface of hot rolled steel. The mechanical alloying process used in this work is high-energy planetary ball mill. Morphological and thermal shifts of the milled oxides scale powders were characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The results showed that the oxide scale contains more than 98% of iron.
