Using water atomized pure iron powder without lubricant admixed as the staring material, ring samples were compacted by the technique. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and a computer controlled universal testing machine were used to investigate the morphologies and the mechanical properties of samples, respectively. The relationships among the impact velocity, the green density, the sintered density, the bending strength and the tensile strength were discussed, The results show that with increasing impact velocity, the green density and the bending strength increase gradually, so the sintered density does. In addition, the tensile strength of sintered material is improved continuously with the sintered density enhancing. In the study, the sintered density of 7.545 g/cm^3 and the tensile strength of 190 MPa are achieved at the optimal impact velocity of 9.8 m/s.展开更多

The influence of URA device on green density, spring back, green strength and hardness was studied. Morphological characteristics of the samples were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Green strength of the samples was measured by computer controlled universal testing machine. The results show that as stroke length increases, the green density, green strength and hardness of the compacts increase gradually. At the identical stroke length, the green density of the compacts pressed with URA devise was 2% higher than the compacts pressed without URA device. The green strength and hardness of the compacts pressed with URA device were higher than the compacts pressed without URA device. Furthermore, the radial spring back of the compacts decreased gradually with the increment in stroke length, whilst that of compacts prepared with URA device was lower.展开更多

It was applied to various metallic powders and was verified to achieve a density greater than 7.5 g/cm^3 for the Fe-based powders. The ability to rapidly and accurately predict the green density of compacts is important, especially as an alternative to costly and time-consuming materials design by trial and error. In this paper, we propose a machine-learning approach based on materials informatics to predict the green density of compacts using relevant material descriptors, including chemical composition, powder properties, and compaction energy. We investigated four models using an experimental dataset for appropriate model selection and found the multilayer perceptron model worked well, providing distinguished prediction performance, with a high correlation coefficient and low error values. Applying this model, we predicted the green density of nine materials on the basis of specific processing parameters. The predicted green density agreed very well with the experimental results for each material, with an inaccuracy less than 2%. The prediction accuracy of the developed method was thus confirmed by comparison with experimental results.展开更多

The green density, the maximal force and the withdraw force of specimen were investigated. The green density of atomized aluminum powder was obtained to be 2.68 g/cm3 and its relative density is about 99%. The maximal force increased proximately linearly with the compaction energy. The withdraw force was observed ranging between 30 and 70 kN. The radial spring back was less than 0.1%.展开更多
