- Aluminum powder (uncoated) is also
known as aluminum powder, aluminum, aluminum flake, aluminum metal,
metana.
- Aluminum powder is a light,
silvery-white to gray, odourless powder. It is a reactive flammable
material.
- Aluminum powder is a fine granular
powder made from Aluminium. In form of powders, Aluminium is used for
several applications such as manufacture of slurry, explosive and
detonators, thermit process used for manufacture of ferro alloys and for
specialised welding applications such as rails, pyrotechnic to
manufacture crackers, sparkles and other pyrotechnic products;
manufacture of aluminium paste, paints and several powder components
used in automobiles.
- The most important property of
aluminium powder to undergo a vigorous exothermic reaction when it gets
oxidised finds application in pyrotechnic process. In foundry, aluminium
powder is used as a deoxidant and exothermic tapping compounds to
increase the yield of casting.
- The aluminium powder is manufactured
in several forms such as flake-like particles, granular powder (atomised
aluminium) etc. For the production of aluminium powder, there are
several processes, one can use any of them.
- Aluminium powder is used as a
blasting agent and rocket fuel, as alkyl catalysts in the production of
biodegradable detergents, as a precursor for aluminium chlorhydroxide
and aluminium glycinate which are constituents of deodorants and
anti-perspirants, as fillers for epoxies and as pigments in paints and
inks. Approximately 1,200 tonnes was used in 2000 in metallurgical
applications, which accounts for 2-3% of aluminium powder shipments in
the U.S.A.
- Aluminum powders are used in paints,
pigments, protective coatings, printing inks, rocket fuel, explosives,
abrasives and ceramics; production of inorganic and organic aluminum
chemicals; and as catalysts. Pyro powder is mixed with carbon and used
in the manufacture of fireworks. The coarse powder is used in
aluminothermics (thermite reaction).
- The aluminium powder is a consumable
product. Presently there are four major organised manufacturers of
aluminium powder. They are Metal Powder Company, Thirumangalam, INDAL,
Mumbai, Khosla Metal Powder Company, Pune and Arasan Aluminium
Industries, Sivakasi. In addition, there are a number of small scale
industries located in Karnataka, M.P., Maharashtra, Gujarat and Delhi
with an installed capacity of 1 tonne per day.
- In a recent report of DSIR, the total
production of aluminium powder in the country has been estimated at more
than 10,000 MT per year. DGTD has estimated the growth of demand between
8 to 10% per annum.
- The aluminium powder industry is of a
remarkable size. There is a growing market for export of aluminium
powder and paste. Good opportunities exist in the field of setting up
new units in small scale sectors with proven technology and appropriate
quality orientation.
- Today, BAI is one of just a handful
of companies in the world producing atomized aluminum powder.The plant
capacity is about 25,000 tons per year, an increase of 316% over 25
years with a total investment of more than US $ 50 million in 2001. The
company is 100% owned by the private sector.
