Aluminium Powder

Abstract

Aluminum powder is fine granular powder made from Aluminum. In form of powders, Aluminum is used for several applications such as manufacture of slurry, explosive and detonators, hermit process used for manufacture of Ferro alloys and for specialized welding applications such as rails, pyrotechnic to manufacture crackers, sparkles and other pyrotechnic products. Manufacture of aluminum paste, paints and several powder components used in automobiles. The most important property of aluminum powder to undergo a vigorous exothermic reaction when it gets oxidized finds application in pyrotechnic process. In foundry, aluminum powder is used as a defoliant and exothermic tapping compound to increase the yield casting.
