Iron Dust
Iron dust is a secret item in industrial craft 2 that can be used to create iron dust which in turn can be turned into a iron ignot. It is created using copper and tin dust to form a single Iron dust heap.
This can be very useful since Iron is one of the mainly used materials in industrial craft 2(and other areas of the technic pack) and far less common then the tin and copper. Although it costs quite a bit of resources to make it may be useful when you're short on your iron supply.
An alternative method to making iron dust is to put iron ore into a macerator, each ore will grind down to 2 iron dust, effectivly doubling your product.
A rotary macerator breaking down iron ore, each ore will produce 2 dust, each dust makes 1 ingot, product doubling.
The recipe to make iron dust is as follows:
This in turn can be turned into iron dust as so:
I00 I I 0
I00 or 000
000 000
Which creates one Iron Dust.
In total you will need 10 tin dust and 8 copper dust to create one iron dust. Which means 5 tin ingots and 4 copper ignots to create on iron ignot.
