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.
