Comparative research on high-velocity compaction and conventional rigid die compaction

Abstract

Experiments were carried out with different apparatus to compact electrolytic copper powders at distinct loading speeds. It appears that green densities of compacts prepared by HVC out-number that by conventional compaction by one percent. Compacts by quasi-static compaction are almost as dense as those by HVC under comparable peak pressure. The relationship between green compact density and peak pressure accords with Hang Pei-yun formula well. Spring-backs of HVC compacts are far smaller than those of conventional compaction and quasi-static compaction. HVC compacts are harder than compacts by conventional compaction and quasi-static compaction when they have the same density.
