- the mixing container (101) placed above the hot plate (105) which is unidirectional, and the uniform heating of the mixture takes place radially.
- the block 201 includes mixing of the iron powder particles and the binder for a first predetermined time to form an encapsulated mixture.
- the term “encapsulate” may refer to coating forming a thin cover of the binder on an outer surface of the iron powder particles, where such coating may cover substantial portion of the iron powder particles.
- such covering of the binder on the iron powder particles may range from at least 51% of the outer surface of the iron powder particles.
- the iron powder particles are in the form of reduced or atomized and are highly pure in nature as the total iron content is greater than 98%. Further, the iron powder particles are either dense close rounded in morphology (as shown in figure 4a) or porous irregular in nature (as shown in figure 4b).
- the carbon content of iron powder particles ranges from 0.05 wt% - 0.8 wt% and the total oxygen content in the iron powder particles ranges from 0.3 wt% to 0.8 wt%. Further, the average size of the iron powder particles ranges from 5 - 100 pm.

- the binder is added in a range of 0.01 - 0.3% by wt.% to the iron powder particles.
- the mechanical mixing of iron powder particles and the binder in a mixing container (shown in Figure 1) at first predetermined time forms homogenised binder encapsulated mixture.

- the coated mixture is cooled to form the coated iron powder particles, where the encapsulated mixture is coated by the silica particles.
- the coated iron powder particles are allowed to cool down to room temperature under open atmospheric conditions. Further, mixing step is performed till temperature reaches below 45°C to avoid overheating or localized heating of the iron powder particles. In an embodiment, mixing of the coated iron powder particles may be performed till temperature reaches room temperature.
- the iron powder particles to be coated are either dense rounded or porous irregular in morphology. Further, the iron powder particles are produced by either atomization or by reduction method.
- the SEM micrograph shows that the iron powder particles having dense close rounded morphology and in Figure 4b, the SEM micrograph shows that the iron powder particles are porous and irregular in morphology.
- Figure 5a and 5b shows the SEM and TEM micrographs of silica particles indicating the fine sized particles which are used for coating iron powder particles.
- Figure 6a and 6b shows the scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of uncoated iron powder particles and silica coated iron powder particles with respective energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) locations.

- EDS energy dispersive spectroscopy
- Table 3 shows the results of Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) point analysis at locations indicated in Figure 6a and 6b. Further, EDS examination obtained on the surface of the uncoated and coated iron powder particles shows clear compositional differences as seen in Table 3.
- EDS Energy dispersive spectroscopy
- SEM mapping of the coated iron powder particles revealed that amorphous silica particles are in nano scale regime as shown in Figure 7.
- thermogravimetric oxidation studies TGA reveals that the onset of oxidation of uncoated iron powder particles is close to 380°C and after silica coating, the onset of oxidation shifted to higher temperature close to 640°C. Therefore, the silica coating on iron powder particles has resulted in improvement in oxidation characteristics. Further, with relative increase in binder percentage in the coating mixture, the oxidation resistance of the silica coated iron particles has subtly improved further as seen in Figure 8.
- TGA studies reveals that the sharp initial weight loss around 280°C on heating attributed to the decomposition temperature of the binder constituent.
- the silica coated iron powder particles of the present disclosure may be used any application including but not limiting to powder metallurgical processing to MIM and AM manufacturing techniques and the like. Silica coated iron powder particles may be used in any other industrial manufacturing application.

Abstract
La présente divulgation divulgue un procédé de production de particules de poudre de fer revêtues de silice possédant des propriétés physiques améliorées. Le processus débute par le mélange de particules de poudre de fer et de cire ou d'un liant à base d'huile dans des mélangeurs selon une composition définie, dans un milieu atmosphérique ouvert à température ambiante. Ensuite, des particules de silice sont ajoutées aux particules de poudre de fer encapsulées par le liant et mélangées davantage jusqu'à atteindre une plage de températures prédéfinie. En outre, le mélange est refroidi jusqu'à ce qu'il atteigne une température ambiante, ce qui permet d'obtenir des particules de poudre de fer revêtues de silice. Ce processus permet d'obtenir des particules de poudre de fer revêtues présentant des caractéristiques améliorées de résistance à la corrosion et à l'oxydation, de surface et de fluidité.
