Attractive particle interaction forces and packing density of fine glass powders
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the packing of fine glass powders of mean particle diameter in the range (4-52) μm both experimentally and by numerical DEM simulations. We obtain quantitative agreement between the experimental and numerical results, if both types of attractive forces of particle interaction, adhesion and non-bonded van der Waals forces are taken into account. Our results suggest that considering only viscoelastic and adhesive forces in DEM simulations may lead to incorrect numerical predictions of the behavior of fine powders. Based on the results from simulations and experiments, we propose a mathematical expression to estimate the packing fraction of fine polydisperse powders as a function of the average particle size.

Sintering of Fine Oxide Powders: II, Sintering Mechanisms
Conventional and new sintering mechanisms have been porous compacts is well-known in the ceramic literature. However, several reports have been presented recently that investigated using fine powders of CeO2 and Y2O3 of excellent sinterability. We have verified the validity of Herring’s show that particle/grain size can remain essentially constant up to a density of 92%, and such a resistance t...
متن کاملCompressibility and Foaming behavior of steel slag/waste glass compositesby particle size distribution and foam agents
In present research, the foam glass-ceramic composites fabricated by window glass, steel slag and SiC, CaCO3 foaming agents were investigated by press–sintering method. The optimum sintering temperature was obtained at 1200°C with a 3-minutes holding time and 20°C/min heating rate. The optimum pressure level of 80 MPa for achieving the 70 % of relative density was selected. The effec...
متن کاملParticulate Mechanics of Manufacturing Processes
This paper addresses two manufacturing processes used to produce high performance materials, namely 1) packing of ceramic powders, and 2) three dimensional printing of components. In order to understand these processes it is necessary to develop a basic understanding of the mechanics and chemistry at the microscopic scale. Here we report recent computational advances in the discrete element mod...

A multiphysics modeling approach for heat conduction in metal hydride powders is presented, including particle shape distribution, size distribution, granular packing structure, and effective thermal conductivity. A statistical geometric model is presented that replicates features of particle size and shape distributions observed experimentally that result from cyclic hydride decrepitation. The...
متن کاملDerivation of stretched exponential tap density equations of granular powders.
The tap density of granular powders was found to be better fitted with the stretched exponential law. In our previous work, the stretched exponential tap density equations were derived with the rate process theory and free volume concept, under the assumption that the particle packing rate during the tapping process obeys the stretched Arrhenius equation, which, however, has an empirical origin...
