The invention relates to the technical field of
metal powder, and provides low-
manganese iron powder and a production method and application thereof.The production method of the low-
manganese iron powder comprises the following steps that S1,
smelting is conducted, specifically,
scrap steel is smelted, a
slag former and a first demanganizing agent are added, tapping is conducted, and smelted molten iron is obtained; s2, refining: refining the smelted molten iron, adding a second demanganizing agent, and carrying out soft
argon blowing treatment to obtain refined molten iron; s3, water atomization treatment: after the refined molten iron is subjected to water atomization treatment,
drying is performed, and crude
powder is obtained; s4, screening: carrying out
magnetic separation screening on the crude
powder to obtain low-
manganese iron powder; the first demanganizing agent comprises the following components in parts by weight: 60-80 parts of oxidized scale, 20-40 parts of
potassium feldspar and 10-20 parts of
dolomite; and the second demanganizing agent comprises the following components in parts by weight: 60-80 parts of
potassium feldspar, 20-40 parts of oxidized scale and 10-20 parts of
dolomite. By means of the technical scheme, the problem that the manganese content of iron powder is high in the prior art is solved.
