In the metallurgical industry, aluminum powder poses explosion risks during production, storage, and transportation due to its inherent properties, severely threatening personnel safety and production stability. This study focuses on the explosion risks of aluminum powder, thoroughly analyzing its explosion mechanisms and triggering factors, including dust characteristics, ignition sources, and environmental conditions. It also elaborates on various risk assessment methods, such as theoretical models and experimental tests. On the prevention and control technology front, it covers process optimization, equipment improvements, and safety management measures. Through comprehensive analysis, this work aims to provide systematic and effective guidance for safe aluminum powder usage in the metallurgical industry, reducing the likelihood of explosion accidents and ensuring sustainable industry development.
