Spherical iron powder is a high-purity, high-sphericity powder material produced through advanced atomization technology. It exhibits excellent flowability and high bulk density, making it an ideal raw material for advanced manufacturing processes such as additive manufacturing (3D printing) and metal injection molding (MIM).
We offer high-quality spherical iron powder and customized alloy powders across a wide range of particle sizes from microns to tens of microns. For sample testing or technical consultation, contact us immediately.

Low minimum order quantity
Flexible packaging
Consistent batch-to-batch quality
Metal 3D Printing: High sphericity ensures uniform powder deposition and high laser absorption, resulting in dense prints with outstanding mechanical properties.
Metal Injection Molding: Perfectly spherical particles significantly improve feed rheology, ideal for forming complex precision micro-parts.
Hot Isostatic Pressing: As feedstock for near-net-shape forming, the powder’s high bulk density aids in achieving high-density green compacts.
Surface Spraying & Repair: Used in plasma or laser cladding to create wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant reinforcement coatings on critical components.
Q1: What are the fundamental differences between spherical iron powder and irregularly shaped iron powder in applications?
A1: The core distinction lies in flowability and bulk density. Spherical powder exhibits excellent flowability, making it more suitable for automated powder spreading in 3D printing and MIM processes requiring high fill rates. It significantly enhances product consistency and production efficiency.
Q2: What is the “satellite particle” phenomenon in powders, and how does it affect performance?
A2: “Satellite particles” refer to small particles adhering to larger particles, which degrades powder flowability and affects layering uniformity. We employ precise process control to effectively reduce satellite particle content, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency.
Q3: Beyond pure iron powder, can you supply pre-alloyed spherical powders based on iron?
A3: Yes. We produce pre-alloyed spherical powders in various systems such as Fe-Ni, Fe-Cr, and Fe-Si-Al to meet your requirements for specific mechanical properties, magnetic characteristics, or corrosion resistance.
