How do number sparklers work and what are they made of?

Number sparklers are wire sparklers bent into digit shapes and coated with a pyrotechnic mixture of metal powders (often iron or steel), an oxidizer such as potassium nitrate, and a binder. When ignited, the metal particles combust and emit bright sparks. They typically burn for 30 to 90 seconds depending on wire thickness and coating amount.
