Interfacial coefficients in powder metal compaction
thesis
posted on 2018-10-16, 10:03 authored by Richard F. MallenderA study has been made of the die compaction of metal powders and
in particular the problems associated with friction between sliding
surfaces have been examined. Friction which results from adhesion
or welding, plays an important role in powder consolidation and is
greatly influenced by the condition of the surfaces concerned.
Attention has been focused upon the compact die interface and the
interactions occurring within this region. In particular information
has been obtained for friction coefficients between the sliding surfaces
and the role of lubricants in affecting these parameters.
An assessment has been made of the effect of admixed lubricant
level upon the laboratory scale compaction of a reduced iron powder.
Ejection forces have been measured and the effects of lubricant content
and characteristics evaluated. Die material and surface finish has
been shown to be of importance during compaction and ejection. Compact
surfaces and strengths have been examined and correlated with the
ejection stress data. [Continues.]
