Compaction of spray-dried ceramic powders: An experimental study of the factors that control green density
- Sandia National Labs., Albuquerque, NM (United States). Glass and Electronic Ceramics
The pressure-compaction response of a spray-dried, 94% alumina powder containing several percent of a polymeric binder was investigated as a function of die diameter and compact aspect ratio. The results show that the die fill density decreases markedly with decreasing die diameter and aspect ratio, while the final green density (at 120 MPa) decreases only slightly under the same conditions. These results suggest that the ratio of the initial compact dimensions to the size of the granules may be much more important than previously considered.
