1. What is nano iron powder?
Nano iron powder is elemental iron (Fe) produced in nanoscale particle sizes. Its high surface area and size-dependent magnetic and chemical properties make it useful for advanced materials and research applications.
2. Is nano iron powder the same as iron oxide nanopowder?
No. Nano iron powder consists primarily of elemental Fe, while iron oxide nanopowders contain compounds such as Fe₂O₃ or Fe₃O₄. The materials have substantially different chemical and physical properties.
3. What particle sizes are available?
REG Metals can source nano iron powder in ranges such as <20 nm, 20–50 nm, 50–100 nm, <100 nm, and 100–500 nm, with custom sizes available depending on production method and quantity.
4. Can nano iron powder be supplied with a surface treatment?
Yes. Passivated, coated, or surface-modified grades may be available depending on the required chemistry and application.
5. What should be specified when purchasing nano iron powder?
Important specifications include iron purity, particle size, particle-size distribution, oxygen content, morphology, surface area, surface treatment, packaging, and quantity. For sensitive applications, the desired analytical method and maximum oxygen level should also be specified.
6. Does REG Metals provide documentation?
Yes. Certificates of Analysis (COA) and available technical documentation can be provided according to the material and supplier specification.
