Ferro-Aluminium Powder (Fe/Al Powder) Description
Ferro-Aluminium Powder (Fe/Al Powder) is a metal powder produced mainly from aluminium. It contains minor quantities of iron and other metals.
Ferroaluminiumpowder exhibits measured heat resistance, mechanical strength and low density. It offers good electrical conductivity and is used in conductive pastes and coatings. It also serves as a raw material for manufacturing aluminium-based metals and alloys.

Ferro-Aluminium Powder (Fe/Al Powder) Applications
1. Pyrotechnics: FAP is used as a fuel in fireworks, torches and other pyrotechnic devices. During combustion, the powder emits sparks and produces a white flame.
2. Welding: FAP may be added to welding rods or welding wire. This addition aids the welding process.
3. Thermal Spray Coatings: FAP is melted and atomised. It is then sprayed onto a surface, thereby forming a compact coating.
4. Additive Manufacturing: FAP is applied in powder bed melting techniques. Applications include Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and Electron Beam Melting (EBM).
5. Chemical Reactions: FAP acts as a reducing agent in specific chemical reactions.
6. Automotive and Aerospace: FAP is utilised in the manufacture of lightweight components for the automotive, aeronautical and rocket industries.
