S100N Steel Powder
S100N is a high carbon granular steel powder with spheroid particles of about 250 microns. It is offered as nominal mesh 70 or 100.
Low-carbon steel consists of less than 0.30% carbon. Medium-carbon steel consists of 0.30% to 0.60% carbon. And high-carbon steel contains more than 0.60% carbon. As the carbon content of steel increases, it becomes stronger and harder.
S100N Chemical Analysis:
| Element | Ratio |
| Carbon | 0.80% – 1.2% |
| Manganese | 0.35% – 1.2% |
| Silicon | 0.4% minimum |
| Sulfur | 0.05% maximum |
| Phosphorous | 0.05% maximum |
| Iron | The balance |
S100N Applications include:
- Filler metal in welding cast iron and cast steel
- Iron Filing for electromagnetism experiments and magnetic field demonstrations.
- Soil Additive (slow release of iron ions)
- Cold casting/ Resin casting (To increase the density or make the product attractable to magnets and detectable by metal detectors).
- Concrete (Added for weight enhancement, magnetic properties, creating rust effects)
- Fireworks (an ingredient of sparklers)
- Sand blasting
- Abrasives
- Chemical reactions (making iron sulfate, Producing hydrogen gas)
- Textured floor paints
Do Not Use For: Metal Clays, sintered products, Food products.
View under microscope
The 20X magnification image of S100N indicate a narrow cut of about 250 micron particles. No more than 5% of the particles have a length that is in excess of twice the cross section. No more than 15% of the particles have a microscopic crack. No more than 10% of particles contain shrinkage. Particles are as nearly spherical as commercially possible and no more than 20% of the particles have objectionable defects.
