Product Description
Iron Boron Powder & Ferro Boron Powder
Iron Boron Powder (Fe-B Powder)
Iron Boron Powder is a precisely blended mixture of iron (Fe) and boron (B) powders. This specialized additive enables controlled boron introduction in metallurgical processes without requiring high-temperature alloying. Our product features controlled composition and uniform particle distribution for consistent, reliable results.
Ferro Boron Powder (FeB Alloy Powder)
Ferro Boron is an alloy of iron and boron, typically containing 10-20% boron. This cost-effective material efficiently adds boron to steel and other alloys, enhancing hardenability, wear resistance, and neutron absorption. Available in various particle sizes and compositions, our Ferro Boron powder ensures excellent flow and dissolution properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Iron Boron Powder and Ferro Boron Powder?
Iron Boron Powder is a physical blend of Fe and B, while Ferro Boron is a pre-alloyed Fe-B compound. Ferro Boron dissolves faster in molten metal.
Can I use Ferro Boron in stainless steel?
Yes, it improves hardenability and corrosion resistance in martensitic stainless steels.
What is the typical boron recovery rate when adding Ferro Boron to steel?
70-90%, depending on addition method and slag conditions.
Is Ferro Boron magnetic?
Yes, due to its high iron content.
How should I store these powders?
In a dry, cool place away from moisture and oxidizers to prevent oxidation.
Do you supply low-aluminum Ferro Boron?
Yes, we offer low-Al grades (Al≤0.1%) for critical applications.
Can I get samples?
Yes, free samples are available for testing.
