Abstract
Considering the influence of lubricant content on the densification quality of the compactor, the percolation behaviour between particles, and the changes in mechanical behaviour among them, powder pressing was performed using a universal testing machine to verify the effect of the infiltration behaviour of solid particle lubricants on compaction and mechanical performance. The test results reveal that the transverse percolation of lubricant particles at the top of the compacted metal powder becomes more pronounced during the pressing process. Additionally, as the lubricant content increases, the intensity of particle percolation also increases. MoS2 solid particle lubricants improve the density, hardness, and porosity of the compact and significantly enhance the densification. However, excessive lubricant leads to agglomeration, which reduces the compressibility of the compacted metal powder. This research expands the theories of powder forming mechanics and particle percolation, providing valuable guidance for further improving the densification of metal powder compacts.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Advanced Powder Technology is to meet the demand for an international journal that integrates all aspects of science and technology research on powder and particulate materials. The journal fulfills this purpose by publishing original research papers, rapid communications, reviews, and translated articles by prominent researchers worldwide.
The editorial work of Advanced Powder Technology, which was founded as the International Journal of the Society of Powder Technology, Japan, is now shared by distinguished board members, who operate in a unique framework designed to respond to the increasing global demand for articles on not only powder and particles, but also on various materials produced from them.
Advanced Powder Technology covers various areas, but a discussion of powder and particles is required in articles. Topics include: Production of powder and particulate materials in gases and liquids(nanoparticles, fine ceramics, pharmaceuticals, novel functional materials, etc.); Aerosol and colloidal processing; Powder and particle characterization; Dynamics and phenomena; Calculation and simulation (CFD, DEM, Monte Carlo method, population balance, etc.); Measurement and control of powder processes; Particle modification; Comminution; Powder handling and operations (storage, transport, granulation, separation, fluidization, etc.)
