How would the behaviors of powdered aluminum and regular aluminum differ?

Powered aluminum or any such powered substance is very explosive. Regular aluminum is not.





The mixture called thermite is powdered aluminum and iron oxide. ... Also, powdered aluminum is the primary fuel (to be oxidized) in slow explosives ...How would the behaviors of powdered aluminum and regular aluminum differ?
in wat context





powderd aluminuim has a vast increase in surafce area making chemical reactions happen alot faster, same for melting it, be bad for puting a current through





normal alu, i presume u mean plate, would have higher heat resistance, would ttake longer on chemical reactions due to smaller surface area and would be better for currents running through it...How would the behaviors of powdered aluminum and regular aluminum differ?
The powder would react faster with other elements because of the increased surface area.
