Aluminium Powder – Atomized, 45 µm
Type: Spherical atomized aluminum powder
CAS Number: 7429-90-5
Average Particle Size: ~45 µm
Purity: ≥99% Al
Appearance: Fine grey metallic powder
Description:
This atomized aluminum powder consists of finely dispersed, spherical particles with an average size of ~45 µm. Produced via gas atomization, the powder offers excellent flowability, uniform particle distribution, and high chemical reactivity, making it ideal for a range of industrial, metallurgical, and pyrotechnic applications.
Applications:
Metallurgy & Additive Manufacturing
-
Used in metal injection molding (MIM) and powder metallurgy processes
-
Suitable for aluminum-based alloys, sintering, and thermal spraying
-
Serves as a base material for powder coating or metallic pigment production
Pyrotechnics & Propellants
-
Acts as a high-energy fuel in flash powders, rocket fuels, and thermite compositions
-
Offers controlled burn rates and bright combustion when paired with oxidizers
-
Used in delay charges, igniters, and metal-based smoke formulations
Chemical Industry
-
Serves as a reducing agent and reactive metal for lab-scale synthesis
-
Involved in exothermic welding, reactive metal blends, and heat-releasing systems
