Nano iron powder

=Nano Iron Powder=

Nano iron powder is an iron powder with granules' sizes ranging on the nanoscale. It is produced by first refining the iron until it is exceptionally pure. Next it is wound into wire. This wire is then exposed to an electric explosion, separating the iron molecules. What results is an iron powder that must be measured at the nanoscale.

Nano iron powder also has its uses in magnetorheological fluids. When MR fluid containing only micrometre sized iron particles is compared to a fluid containing 5% nano sized particles and the rest micrometre sized, stress yield is significantly increased.
