Some aspects of the roll compaction of strip from iron powder by the BISRA process
thesis
posted on 2018-10-29, 17:20 authored by Martin DonnellySteel strip has been made from iron powder by the BISRA process. A
water atomised powder and a reduced powder have been characterised.
The water atomised powder has been sieved, elutriated and re-blended to
form a series of approximately log-linear size distributions, and these
have also been characterised. Particular attention has been paid to
particle size distribution, apparent density, tap density, compressibility
and weight specific surface.
Mechanical and physical properties of the strip have been measured at
various stages in its production. The properties have been found to
depend on the processing conditions and on the powder characteristics.
The processing conditions used did not produce satisfactory strip when very
fine water atomised powder was used; an explanation for this has been
proposed. [Continues.]
