Compaction of Commercially Pure Titanium Powder by Friction Powder Compaction Process

Compaction of Commercially Pure Titanium Powder by Friction Powder Compaction Process

A new friction powder compaction (FPC) process is introduced for compacting commercially pure titanium powder. The FPC process is very simple and energy-efficient since it requires only a rotating tool plunged into an aluminum plate with a hole filled with titanium powder, and no external heat source is necessary. The sintering of the powder is mainly achieved by the friction heat and pressing ...

Analysis of tablet compaction. I. Characterization of mechanical behavior of powder and powder/tooling friction.

In this first of two articles on the modeling of tablet compaction, the experimental inputs related to the constitutive model of the powder and the powder/tooling friction are determined. The continuum-based analysis of tableting makes use of an elasto-plastic model, which incorporates the elements of yield, plastic flow potential, and hardening, to describe the mechanical behavior of microcrys...

Constitutive Equation for Powder Compaction Incorporating Powder Charecteristics

The increasing importance of powdered materials fabrication has led to an increasing emphasis on the understanding of the powder behavior during compaction. During compaction, a powder mass undergoes densification owing to various mechanisms, i.e. sliding, rotation, deformation and/or fracturing of the constituent particles. These densification mechanisms are very dependent upon the powder char...

Compaction dynamics of a magnetized powder.

We have investigated experimentally the influence of a magnetic interaction between the grains on the compaction dynamics of a granular pile submitted to a series of taps. The granular material used to perform this study is a mixture of metallic and glass grains. The packing is immersed in homogeneous external magnetic field. The magnetic field induces an interaction between the metallic grains...
