Product Overview
PM-200Fe Iron Powder is a high-performance, water atomized iron powder engineered for precision powder metallurgy (PM) applications. Compliant with MPIF Standard 35, this low oxygen powder delivers exceptional flowability, compressibility, and green strength—critical for high-volume production of complex sintered components. With a tightly controlled particle size distribution (D50 = 45 μm) and ultra-low oxygen content (<0.15% wt), PM-200Fe ensures consistent sintering behavior, minimal oxidation during furnace cycles, and superior dimensional stability. As a premium-grade water atomized iron material, it serves as the foundational feedstock for automotive, industrial, and appliance manufacturers seeking reliability in mass-produced ferrous parts.
Key Features
- Ultra-low oxygen content (<0.15%) for enhanced sintered density and mechanical properties
- Precise D50 = 45 μm particle size with narrow distribution (D10 ≈ 22 μm, D90 ≈ 78 μm)
- Full compliance with MPIF Standard 35 for chemical composition, particle morphology, and performance testing
- Excellent flow rate (>25 s/50g per ASTM B213) and apparent density (2.75–2.85 g/cm³)
- Spherical-to-quasi-spherical particle morphology for optimal packing and die fill uniformity
- Consistent batch-to-batch reproducibility—ideal for certified production environments

Applications
This iron powder is widely deployed in high-precision PM processes—including warm compaction, double pressing–double sintering (DPDS), and metal injection molding (MIM)—for manufacturing structural components such as transmission gears, bushings, solenoid cores, and pump rotors. Its low oxygen powder characteristics make it especially suitable for applications requiring high magnetic permeability (e.g., soft magnetic composites) and elevated tensile strength post-sintering. As a trusted PM-200Fe solution, it supports Tier-1 automotive suppliers and industrial OEMs in achieving ISO/TS 16949-compliant production lines. For engineers specifying water atomized iron feedstock aligned with MPIF 35, PM-200Fe offers proven repeatability, traceability, and technical support from raw material sourcing through sintering validation.
