Glossary Related to Electrolytic Iron

Electrolysis

A phenomenon that occurs using voltage to pass through a solvent in between electrodes causing a chemical reaction. An oxidation reaction occurs for generating electrons on the anode (plus) side, and a reduction reaction for receiving electrons occurs on the cathode (minus) side. Electrolytic iron is produced by generating a precipitation.

Electrolytic Iron Related FAQ

Q:What is electrolytic iron? Why is it different from ordinary iron?
A:Electrolytic iron refers to iron that has been highly purified by electrolysis. The main feature is that the purity exceeds 99.95%. Pure iron has excellent magnetic properties, has excellent strength and corrosion resistance when alloyed.
Q:Tell me the purity of electrolytic iron.
A:Miron flake and Atomiron flake achieve a purity of 99.95% or more, and Miron SHP achieve a purity of 99.99% or more. Please refer the product details page as the standard of impurities in each product is different.
Q:How is electrolytic iron made?
A:It is manufactured by electrolysis of raw iron. For more information please refer the manufacturing process page.
Q:What are the advantages of using electrolytic iron ?
A:By using electrolytic iron, you can produce a low impurity alloys, the ductility, toughness, corrosion resistance and heat resistance will be improved.
Q:In which field is electrolytic iron used?
A: The main usage of electrolytic iron products are special alloys for safety-critical components of aircraft and motor vehicles. Also, steel producers and research institutes use them for their studies.
Q:When did you start producing electrolytic iron?
A:The company was established in 1937, but the production of electrolytic iron started in 1967.
