ENGINEERING THE GREEN STATE OF POWDER PRODUCTS

摘要

This paper highlights the important outcomes from a major collaborative project in the UK, under the title "Engineering the Green State of Powder Products." The project has provided new knowledge and insight into the net-shape forming of powder compacts by die pressing. It has involved the collaboration of six academic research groups and over 20 industrial partners, spanning the powder metal, advanced ceramics, hard-metals, magnetic materials, and pharmaceutical tabletting sectors. Through a combination of novel experimental observations and, where appropriate, numerical simulation, the project has studied all the process stages involved, in the production of green (unsin tered) compacts.
