I'd like to know who supplies pure iron powder/electrolitic without oxide, i.e silvery looking or white, but deffinately not black or dark grey, anybody know a supplier?

when I buy iron powder from my supplier it comes new from their manufacturer and is already blackened from the manufacturing process. I doubt it is available any other way?

Why are u specifically after raw surfaced stuff?

There is electrolytic which is without rust and some other processes, but I can only find bulk suppliers and I want some for experiments, it is out there.

sorry I meant what type of compo are you wanting to make that the two different powders may change the effect?

No compounds it is simply for some sintering experiments.

A former employer used to sinter commercially and their iron powders were black.
