FAQ

 

Q: What will happen when iron carbide powder comes into contact with hot air?

A: It will be oxidized at high‑temperature air, generating iron oxide and releasing carbon dioxide, destroying its original phase structure.

Q: What are the main differences in the applications of carbonized iron and iron powder?

A: Iron powder is mainly for sintering raw material and reduction reaction; triiron carbide Fe₃C focuses on wear‑resistant modification, Fischer‑Tropsch catalysis and magnetic material, with higher hardness and carbon‑containing phase.

Q: Is triiron carbide easy to oxidize at room‑temperature environment?

A: It keeps stable under dry room‑temperature environment, but will slowly oxidize when exposed to humid air for long time.

Q: What particle size influences the catalytic performance of triiron carbide?

A: Smaller particle size provides larger specific surface area, fine‑grade powder delivers better catalytic activity; excessively fine powder may cause sintering under reaction conditions.

Q: Could triiron carbide be mixed with other metal powders?

A: Yes, it can be blended with other metal powders for powder‑metallurgy formulation; dry mixing environment is required to avoid oxidation.
